Geocache Description:

The cache is not at posted coordinates, but that would be a good place to park for this cache which is nearby.  The cache will be a short walk from this parking area into a wooded area.  Bushwhacking wasn't bad when we placed it, but may be worse in the summer.  You will be looking for a small coffee container wrapped in camo duct tape with a log, some swag and a pen inside!

Congrats to Morton Fox for FTF.

To get the coordinates for this cache you will need to research some New Castle history and gather some dates.
