Geocache Description:

"Oops, I hid it again

Oops I lost the coordinants!"


I had the Coordinates but, Oops I forgot to post them! But I do know the cache is located in Money Rocks County Park. The County park at the Narvon clay Mine is over three hundred acres of woodland in the Welsh Mountains of eastern Lancaster County and is adjoined just south of the cache site with Welsh Mountain Preserve. The pride of the park is a rocky spine of boulders called "Money Rocks", so-named because farmers in the Pequea Valley allegedly hid cash among the rocks. The ridge offers beautiful views of farmland, towns and distant wooded hills. I can assuredly say there is no money in the cache itself, however there is a smiley in it for you!

It was a rainy day in april 2008, as I headed out along what is now Marked as the Green Trail when I came to realize "Oops I forgot my GPS" but I was undaunted as I remembered the cache page had a picture of a tree with mushrooms growing up the side. It was even the hint for the ammo can I was hunting for, so I figured I would just wing it. I walked off trail along the upper ridge when I had that nice green woodland and catacomb trail view, I came upon the connector trail between the two when I had walked west another 250' I found the tree with mushrooms and the cache was there in a crevis just as described. I have such fond memories of this find I thought that now that it is archived I would hide it yet again with a third hide in the same spot.

CACHE: The current cache is the exact same placement as the original two caches that preceded it. There are three ways to locate this placement. You can find the original cache listing, now archived and use those coordinates or you can do what I did, However the mushroom tree is no longer holding any mushrooms, or you can just use the map provided, In remembrance you will find in the placement a mushroom stamp and pad, please leave them there as they are part of the cache.

Here it is, below the highest rock, in a crevice!

Please No night caching.

HAPPY CACHING!
