Geocache Description:

Stage 1 is at the posted coordinates. It is approximately a 0.60 mile walk on a fire road to stage 1 - but the views at the end are worth it! Terrain could be a little tricky in wet or icy conditions but the locations are not treacherous by any means. Since you are hiking through state game lands, please wear orange during the hunting seasons. 

Cache is three stages - the first two will be used together to get the coordinates for the final stage. Please bring a pen and some paper to record some information from stage 1 so it can be used at stage 2. The puzzle is not complex - it may take a few minutes to complete stage 1 but anyone can eventually finish it. The information obtained at the first stage will then be used to get the numbers for the final location at stage 2. While the terrain here could be dangerous in bad weather, the stages should not be too difficult terrain wise - so if you are doing something dangerous to find a stage - stop.

While hiking to this cache you can pick up a few other caches along the way including Chock Full o'Nuts Again, Muddy Susquehanna Letterbox, and What comes down must go up. Enjoy the hike, the views, and of course the cache!
