Geocache Description:

This cache is a result of a student break-out session at the first annual Pittsburgh-area Creek Connections Student Research Symposium.

Creek Connections is a partnership between Allegheny College and regional K-12 schools to turn waterways in Northwest Pennsylvania, Southwest New York, and the Pittsburgh area into outdoor environmental laboratories. Emphasizing a hands-on, inquiry based investigation of local waterways, this project annually involves over 40 different secondary schools and the classes of 50 teachers.

ON TO THE CACHE:

This cache lies stashed in Pittsburgh's North Park.
Transport your cachers to the following mark:

N40-37.186'
W080-01.868'

To start this search, just close your eyes.
Follow the trail as it twists, turns and goes clockwise.

Cross two bridges and exit left,
Head up the hill, and stay on the path.

At the very last second the needle will swing,
That's the time to start your rambling.

This cache is a tribute to the environment and things natural,
It's contents to start relate to clean air and water, habitats that are zestful.

If you should seek this cache, please respect the land,
Tread softly and extract any trash you've scanned.
