Geocache Description:

This geocache is among a series, placed in and around the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust. With diverse landscapes, maintained trails, and naturally restored plant and wildlife, this 720 acre preserve along the Pennypack Creek is an asylum from the craziness of the daily grind!




This cache is a letterbox hybrid. It contains a rubber stamp, ink pad, logbook and geocaching pin for FTF! There is room for some small swag.

Along the way, you might find an abandoned telegraph line and switchbox, but the cache is somewhere else.

Can you find it?

I recommend starting at the listed waypoint for the old Bryn Athyn train station, which has been used as the Post Office since 2009. There is a traditional cache near there, GC3HYQB, which you can log while you check out the building, and collect your numbers.

Of course this puzzle can be solved online with a simple web search, but I just think its more fun to explore!

The letterbox is located at N 40 07.ABC W 075 04.DEF

A = What time does the window open on Saturday?

B= How many total hours is the window open on Holidays?

C= What time does the lobby open on Wednesday?

D = How many times do the words "Bryn Athyn" appear above the old train platform?

E= How many days a week does the window close at 4:00?

F = What time does the window open on Monday?

That's it, you have your numbers! Now go explore!
