Did you ever wonder how something can be right in front of your face and never know it is there? Frank started coming to this lake in 1951, before he was a year old. His family would drive to the lake (it took 4 hours from Pittsburgh back then), find a spot to pull up and set up a camp. They spent time cleaning it up and came back two weeks later to find that others had trashed the site leaving all their garbage behind.
In the early 50's, Great Uncle John Skerbetz found a farm house with a little bit of property. Three Great Uncles (John, Charlie, and Ed Skerbetz) and a Great Aunt (Ella Skerbetz Dimple), and Grandmother (Agnes Skerbetz Munsky, Frank Munsky I) and Dad (Frank Munsky II) all chipped in to buy the property. The lot was divided into 6 lots (for future generations) and each had a share in "The Big House". Around 1956 the guys got permission to tear down an abandoned house about eight miles away and use the wood to build an addition to "The Big House".
Frank (III) spent many vacations at the lake in the early years and as a teenager came fishing here with his Grandparents.
Frank (III) and Michele came to the lake together for the first time in May, 1970, the day after the senior prom. Frank borrowed his grandmothers boat and we had a picnic along the lake.
We were on the lake many times throught the years in several types of watercraft including fishing boats, rubber rafts, canoes, a sailboat, rental pontoons, and now kayaks. We boated past this area many times stopping to picnic on several of the big rocks on the lake.
One day we kayaked past this spot and stopped to stretch our legs and discovered this hidden treasure we never knew was here. We have since brought our grown children and Grandsons to explore this area. It is only natural that we would hide a geocache here.
When the first geocache went missing it is only natural that we hide one that is "bigger and better"....well not necessarily bigger!
THIS IS INTENDED TO BE AN EVIL HIDE
Please replace the natural camoflage as you found it for others to find.
There is no climbing or digging required. Do not destroy the natural inviornment. Have fun and enjoy your time at the lake.
We once saw a boatload of Amish People pull up her for a Sunday afternoon tour. The tour guide described this as "Copperhead Rock" but we never saw any snakes while we were there.
