Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed with DNR approval

This is a very pleasant hike with several scenic overlooks. The trail is also very popular with mountain bikers, so if you’re into mountain biking you might want to have a go. Although please be for warned, this trail is for very experienced mountain biker's, it is not you typical ride in the park.

This cache is up and running

Start off at the first overlook with a beautiful view of Middletown Valley. From the overlook follow the trail to your right, which is marked as black, to 39° 28.108N by 077° 29.820W. This is the site of your next overlook, be careful on the ledge it is a long way down. Get back on the trail and continue in the same direction you were walking for another .94 miles. The trail will eventually changes from a black marked trail which splits to your right, to a yellow marked trail. Just continues in a straight direction on the yellow marked trail.

At the .94 mile point you should come across an old fire trail. Take a left onto the fire trail and proceed down 200 ft. till you come to a large white quartz rock on your left. Turn to your left, keeping yourself on the trail, and face the large rock. The rock points directly to the cache (take a quick bearing). From the rock follow the bearing you attained into the woods for about 90 paces. The cache is hidden in the face of the bluff that’s directly before you. The cache is in a clear 12" X 12" X 5" Rubbermaid container with a tan top. Good luck and happy hunting. There is a FTF Prize of Cord. to my FTF Cache. Even thought this cache is not new, I am gizen a FTF prize to the person who finds this first since it has been adopted.
