A geocaching adventure though SGL 26. This is a series of 10.
State Game Lands 26 encompasses 12,062 acres in a four-county area (Cambria, Blair, Bedford, and Somerset). This series of caches are accessible via State Game Lands Road, from Diamond Lane, just outside of Portage, PA. Right at the beginning of State Game Lands Road is the Main Parking Area (N 40 19.679 W 078 34.662). Note: There is a gate at the Main Parking Area, but it is ONLY OPEN for fall/early winter hunting (October-January). IMPORTANT NOTES FOR THIS SERIES: 1. This series is all located on Pennsylvania State Gamelands. Please be respectful of the hunters and WEAR ORANGE. It's not only for your safety, it's the law. 2. Every cache in this series of 10 is no more than 200 feet off of the old tram road, which is along a small stream. NO BUSHWHACKING OR STREAM CROSSINGS should be necessary! Caches #1 - #6 are on flat terrain (easy walking). Caches #7-#10 are of varied terrain (some steep). Doing the whole series (#1 - #10) requires approximately a 7-8 mile hike. If doing the whole series, caches are in sequential order (1 to 10) FROM the main parking area. A pen and tweezers are required at some of the caches. Also, ALL CACHES in this series have a "built-in" clue - the title! 3. For caches #5 - #10, there is another closer parking area at N 40 19.291 W 078 36.279, but it is only accessible from October-January. 4. There is NO CELL PHONE SERVICE in this very remote area. Please hike with a friend, be aware of the weather, and alert others of your intended destination. Because of winter conditions, these caches may be inaccessible during times of snow. This area is close to Blue Knob State Park and Ski Area, and gets LOTS of snow! Cache #2 is right off of State Game Lands Road, not far off the road. In the summer/fall, there may be a small patch of jaggers/brush you have to get through. Cache is a large screw top container. Please replace exactly as found.
