Geocache Description:

DESCRIPTION UPDATED 11/24/10. COORDINATES ARE THE SAME.

This should be a simple C and D for everyone. This cache is hidden just off the Schuylkill River Trail directly behind the office building that I work in. If you come during normal work hours, and I see you, I might even come out to say hi!

Although this cache is way too small to leave trackables, there might be a 3,200 pound trackable sitting in the parking lot of the office building just waiting for you to discover. Again, normal work hours are the key. Just review TB3VQ9B before coming and you should be able to find it pretty quickly! (Please note that someone else in the office building also purchased a vehicle almost exact the same as the one the TB is attached. If you don't see the TB immediately where described, then you are probably looking at the wrong car!)

Also to be found nearby is a Benchmark, (less than 10 feet from the cache). It was not until I came out to do maintenance on my cache did I realize that one was located so close. You can download the coordinates for KV1839 before coming and you should have a quick find.

As for the name of the cache, look across the street to the apartments. In August 2008 a massive blaze totally destroyed three of these buildings and damaged two others. According to Channel 6's website, the fire destroyed 185 apartments; left 375 people homeless; required 80 fire companies to fight the blaze; and caused over $100 million in damages. They rebuilt the buildings in the same appearance as before the fire...let's hope things work out better this time around!

Watch out for landmines near ground zero. Muggles will be abound all the time. Park legally along the nearby streets. Please don't go onto the SEPTA railroad tracks near the cache. This cache is not part of the SRT series, but it can be done along with those.

So remember, your looking for the geocache, the benchmark, and maybe a large trackable. Happy Hunting!
