If you come out in woods today,
There is no need for disguise.
When you come out and find the cache,
Your in for a big surprise!
Along the woods where birds sing,
through the fields where bees sting.
Up, up, up and over stone wall,
taking good care not to fall.
Into the wood of sticky pine,
cross the creek and there you find.
On an island covered in gazebo wood,
over grass pond where water once stood.
Ev'ry Cacher who's been good,
is sure of a treat today.
Bring marvelous things to eat,
i've got a wonderful game to play.
Beneath the trees where nobody sees,
i've hidden there for you to seek,
Cause that's the way we have a hidden picnic.
Cache is hidden as described above See the Large map ("Green Hills") for directions to the proper corner then use the smaller map ("Picnic") to get you to the Cacher's Hidden Picnic. Bushwacking is not required, but that will depend on your woodland skills!
Cache is located in Green Hills Preserve. Green Hills Preserve is situated on 168 acres of gently rolling agricultural fields, woodlands, and wetlands within a rolling hills landscape known as the Schuylkill Highlands. The trails are moderate to easy, and flow mostly outside of the woods in agricultural and wild flowered fields, the flowers and wildlife you see will depend on the time of year you visit. The Preserve contains one of the largest Red Maples (Acer rubrum) in Pennsylvania. The tree has 188" inch trunk circumfrance, it is 75' feet tall with a crown spread of 95 feet. This tree is located by the old shed and can be spotted form the yellow trail starting area. Hunting is pemitted in the presreve, gun season is the first two weeks following Thanksgiving in PA, with no hunting permitted on Sundays.
PLEASE, NO NIGHT CACHING!
HAPPY CACHING!
As of 4/15/2017 there is now a trail that runs right to the gazebo, the green trail newly put in and not yet finished, that explores the eastern side of the property. So for those who can find the access points to the eastern portion of the preserve you can get to the Gazebo fairly easy with no off trail traveling.
