Geocache Description:


Along the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail you will find numbered stones marking each mile. Ten of them are stages to this multi cache.

Here are the coordinates of the ten:

N 39 51.888 W 79 27.274

N 39 52.863 W 79 23.131

N 39 57.504 W 79 21.948

N 40 00.214 W 79 18.696

N 40 03.085 W 79 16.821

N 40 06.450 W 79 12.373

N 40 08.914 W 79 08.879

N 40 13.540 W 79 06.187

N 40 18.835 W 79 02.317

N 40 23.039 W 78 58.631


To find the cache, add up the numbers carved on these ten milestones. The latitude of the cache is N 40 degrees plus a number of minutes equal to your total multiplied by the number 0.0311391. The longitude of the cache is W 79 degrees plus a number of minutes equal to your total multiplied by the number 0.0228521.

Those of you who hike the L.H.H.T. may be aware of one or more missing milestones between Ohiopyle and Seward. If a stage milestone happens to be missing, count it as zero when you make your total.
