Geocache Description:


Porcupine - a very slow moving 2-3 foot long rodent with an 8-10" tail commonly found in this region, as well as elsewhere in the world - covered with about 30,000 quills for protection - they do NOT shoot their quills at a predator like many people seem to think, actually they turn their back towards a predator and more or less swipe their tail at them to release some quills, although their whole body is covered with them - they can swim and climb trees - they make a wide variety of sounds including moaning, teeth clicking, grunting, shrieks, and whines. A very interesting animal!

Placed on Redbank Valley Trails with permission. Trail is open dawn to dusk. This trail won PA's 2014 Trail of the Year award. Terrain rating is mainly because you can hike/bike into this cache from many different parking areas - only the closest one is listed in the additional waypoints.
