Geocache Description:

Part of the Mini Geistown Geo Trail.


UPDATE 7/5/19: The former location seems to have some erosion problems which probably contributed to this going missing. I've moved the location of the cache, and the container got a bit smaller, but it should be out of the elements now. Please replace as found.

This cache is part of what will be a mini Geistown Borough Geo-Trail. The purpose of this trail will get cachers to experience different parts of this one square mile community. Incorporated in 1930, Geistown is loved by its residents and maintains its status as a quiet and small residential community. It is bordered by Richland and Stonycreek Townships, and carved in half by Route 56 (Scalp Avenue). Approximately 2,000 people live in Geistown, the CO being one of them.

Commemorative coins are in production for the completion of this trail. To be eligible, create a bookmark list when you find them and then send the CO a message with an address to send the coin. Once the finds are verified a coin will be sent to you. If you do not feel comfortable providing a mailing address, I can leave the coins at the borough office for pickup. Let me know what works for you!

This cache is located in one of Geistown's three cemeteries. The unique thing about this cemetery is that it is not owned by the adjacent St. Benedict Church. Plus it is located on both sides of the road! From this location you get a unique perspective of the lower part of the borough. You can also stop for some ice cream or a case of beer if you are thirsty. 

Please be respectful of where you are at. You will not need to disturb any graves, or even walk off the path except for a short time if you use the parking coordinates. Parking coordinates are provided for an adjacent parking lot. It tends to be easier to get out of then the cemetery itself. If you choose not to use the parking coordinates, you can practially drive up to GZ but what is the fun in that. Absolutely no night caching please.

Congrats to the FTF: LTSilverfox
