Geocache Description:

This is a regular sized cache with a yellow lid. This cache is located in a beautiful, nature filled, small wooded area complete with trails.

When the cache was placed, it contained earbuds, a flaslight, a squeaky hot dog, a squeaky hamburger, and a hot wheels car. A mile drive off of Exit 98 on I-81 and an easy 5-10 minute walk to the cache.

Some people were having trouble finding the correct trail, as some of the trail maps and markers are very faded. As you turn into Randolph Park, follow the main road past the water park and park in front of the large playground. There's a walking trail behind the playground that goes into the woods. When you get to the woods, one trail goes left and one goes right. Go onto the left trail. This trail then forks into the "Blue Trail" and the "Inspiration Trail". Take a left onto the "Blue Trail". Following this should take you right to the GPS coordinates.

The GPS coordinates put you in the starting location, but where to look? To find out where to look you must first solve some riddles.

Where to Look:
Follow the blue trail. With the railroad to your left, go ------ (Clue 1). You'll find what you seek in - ---- (Clue 2).

Riddle 1 (Input Answer into Clue 1)
What can be held in your left hand but not in your right?

Riddle 2 (Input Answer into Clue 2)
It cannot be seen, it weighs nothing, but when put into a barrel, it makes it lighter. What is it?
