Geocache Description:

The entire town of Philipsburg Pennsylvania vanished into the mists. By finding this cache you will find history again :) Make sure you take a gift from this one! Swap is okay if you choose, but not all a requirement or rule with this one :) I will keep it full up with surprises. Standing at the coords the cache location and large marker are very, clearly visible just ahead, see pictures for a hint, or see hint for a hint.

Standing and the coords, the location is clearly visible ahead, see pictures for a hint. This cache contains interesting information about an entire town in Pennsylvania that has gone missing!
It contains a log and several takeable takeaways! Trade if you like, but please only takeaway one item.
You will need to "get to know" the missing town as a date of historical siginficance will be required to "UNLOCK" the key to this very puzzling problem. "Gee I wonder whose headstone that is there?" Also, if you are observant, you may just spot a second, hidden "Bonus" Log. But don't rock your brain over it if you missed the bonus.
