Geocache Description:

This is a well-camo'ed cache hidden along a section of the old road that used to run from Scranton to Moscow. This is a tough, rocky road with no winter matinence, so it is reccomended to use a high profile vehicle or enjoy the walk from the parking area near the ball fields. If you decide to take the drive, be cautious and go slowly. Don't worry, this is a state owned road so it is not private property unless you go beyond the postings.

This is a tough, rocky road with no winter maitenance, so it is recommended to use a high profile vehicle, or enjoy the walk from the parking area near the ball fields.

It is possible that you may run into various wildlife, including deer, bear, beaver, grouse, heron, turkey, and other creatures that I have enjoyed over the years.

If you can imagine, years ago, there used to be a one- room schoolhouse and a number of farms along this road. There are visible foundations off this road, but this land is now unfortunately private, so please consider this before you wander too far off the road to look for these old puzzle peices of the past.

When you find this cache, be careful, there is a slight drop-off into a stream. This stream is a runnoff from Bear Swamp which ultimately flows into Lake Scranton. Also, please place the cache in its original hiding place and make sure the container itself is watertight. Make sure to properly replace its natural camo. This should be a pretty easy cache. The terrain is rated as a 2.5 because of the difficult road. I hope you enjoy this area as much a I do.
