The following is an important communique from The Umbrella Corporation=====>

THE STORY:

The "T" virus has escaped from the lab and is loose on an unsuspecting population. Only you can administer the cure! You must travel to State Game Land #35 near Great Bend in Susquehanna County Pennsylvania. There you will follow a SGL access road, which can be somewhat rough on low ground clearance vehicles, for a couple of miles back into the hinterlands. You will pass though a gate which is SOMETIMES OPEN, and then come to the listed parking at a gate which is almost ALWAYS CLOSED.

There will a longer walk at times of year when the first gate is closed, and you need to park there. The parking waypoint is at the SECOND gate because that also marks the trailhead to turn off of "Smokie Hollow Road". From there you must trek on foot up that secondary road always bearing to the left until you have ascended a few hundred feet in elevation. When you are about two tenths a mile from GZ, there will be a circular clearing OFF TO YOUR RIGHT which marks the end of the easy portion of your journey. From there you will continue up with no real trails up to the highest point in this section of SGL #35 at almost 1800 feet. Here you will find the emergency contingency kit for the rescue of the human population below. It is well hidden to remain out of the hands of unauthorized users, but with your GPS and your geocaching skills you should have no trouble finding it. The emergency contingency kit is equipped with the anti-virus vials, and at this elevation it will be a simple matter of releasing the anti-virus into the air to spread out onto the population below.

THANK YOU!

After saving the world, PLEASE put everything back the way you found it for the enjoyment of the next hardy and brave sojourner who wants to be a hero like YOU :-)
