Geocache Description:

***UPDATE*** Effort is being made to perform much needed maintenance on the South Mountain Geotrail. Although most geocaches can still be located and enjoyed, many are missing keywords and stamps. 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***

2 POSSIBLE ROUTES. Parking at Killarney Drive will require only a short hike to the cache. The longer trek requires parking at Mont Alto State Park and following the Bricker's Clearing Trail, making a 3 mile round trip.

The 611-acre Meeting of the Pines State Forest Natural Area, created in 1974 by the Bureau of Forestry, is a preserve within Michaux State Forest where both northern and southern species of pine grow in the same area. This unique site is the northern-most home for southern species and the southern-most home for northern species and includes five of Pennsylvania’s six native pine species; Virginia pine, table mountain pine, pitch pine, shortleaf pine, and white pine.

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.
