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***

Nestled against the base of South Mountain, the Adams County Winery is the region’s oldest winery, dating back to 1976. This small farm winery’s tasting room is located inside a 19th century Pennsylvania bank barn. To get here, you’ll drive through some of the region’s largest apple, peach and pear orchards -- but those aren’t the only fruits that enjoy the great climate in the valley east of the South Mountain. Grapes, too, thrive in this ideal landscape. And they are the secret of success at this location.

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.
