Hemlock's Treasure Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

pinksweatshirt: I have not been able to check on this one in my reasonable time frame- I am sure it is inaccessible- at least in the manner of which I intended it - so I will archive it! ☹️. If i can retrieve the ammo can, I’ll find a new place for it!! This area is becoming a wonderful trail system and it might be good to free up the space for other caches to keep it active!!

Geocache Description:

50 cal ammo can in the hills of the beautiful Montour Woods Conservation area - part of the Hollow Oak Land Trust. Several parking options are available. I parked at the listed parking coords which makes for a rather challenging hike (uphill) and one stream crossing which will vary in difficulty with rain and snow melt.

(Meeks Run to Powerline - left on connector to Hemlocks)

I have become involved with the Hollow Oak Land Trust organization as a volunteer trail builder. The Montour Woods area is a 460 acre green space projected to host over 10 miles of sustainable trail network and eventually connecting with Moon Park and the Montour Trail. At this time, the trails are roughly cut and marked with trail posts at most intersections. The trails are not blazed yet, but pink ribbons tied to trees and branches should make staying on trail easy. Maps of this area are available at hollowoak.org. This cache is a very old school typical ammo can hide.  ****Important Note**** There is hunting in this area.  Be sure to wear Blaze Orange during hunting seasons!
