The "GAUNTLET" Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

A small Lock & Lock container located very close to the Orange Loop / Blue Loop Trails on NEVERSINK MOUNTAIN.





The cache should be an easy find, however it is located on a very steep section of the "WEST VALLEY TRAIL", hence the regular bikers and hikers have knicknamed it the Gauntlet!
The shortest approach is via ninth street, however there are numerous other parking areas. For an online map of the entire trail system visit berks-conservancy.org and click on Neversink Mountan.
When you are near a tree with orange paint blazes on it you will be very close to the hide, follow your arrow very closely from the tree
