Your feedback is valuable as we prioritize maintenance concerns for the Geotrail. In the meantime, please excuse our condition. If in need of keywords for completing your Geotrail Passport, replace missing keywords with a description of local features unique to the geocache location. Thank you for your understanding! ***UPDATE***

IMPORTANT!

SOUTH MOUNTAIN GEOTRAIL

The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular geocache. However, it is also part of the South Mountain GeoTrail (SMGeoTrail), a project funded by both public and private funds that is designed to educate residents and visitors about agricultural, heritage, and natural sites within the South Mountain Region. The SMGeoTrail utilizes the growing interest in geocaching to connect an increasingly tech savvy public to the natural assets of the South Mountain Region. This cache contains a unique self-inking rubber stamp, which you should use to stamp your SMGeoTrail Passport to verify that you found it. After logging a minimum of 30 caches, you are eligible for a one-of-a-kind GeoCoin. Click on the South Mountain GeoTrail Logo below for more information.
