OK here is a little blerb for “Oil Region Alliance of
Business, Industry & Tourism " who sponsored all those lovely
AGT coins that we have all been collecting and the new OCSP and
Kenerdale coins that are now in many of the park caches. Oh by the
way Mike from the ORA is also responsible for getting the DCNR to
give of the shelter for free so be sure to say thanks when you see
him.
For our 5th year we have decided to bring the AGT back to where it
all started.
The geomeet at the posted coordinates is a regular geocaching
event, however, it is also part of the Allegheny GeoTrail (AGT),
a
publicly funded project designed to promote a pleasant and
positive
experience and image of the Allegheny National Forest region
and
its gateway communities. The AGT utilizes the growing interest
in
geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the area
in
learning more about the unique attractions in the ten
participating
counties. This cache contains a unique self inking rubber
stamp
which you should use to stamp your Allegheny GeoTrail Passport
to
verify that you found it. When you have found a minimum of six
AGT
caches, you will be eligible to have your AGT passport
validated
and receive a commemorative AGT trackable geocoin at
participating
locations. You must have your official AGT passport with you
when
you find this cache in order to stamp it. Click on the
Allegheny
GeoTrail Logo below to visit the AGT website at
www.alleghenygeotrail.com for complete details and a listing
of
participating locations where you may pick up and validate
AGT
passports to receive your souvenir geocoin, trackable at
www.geocaching.com .
