Geocache Description:


You have found your next adventure! Thank you for joining us for the "Visit Centre County" GeoTour as we show you some of our most favorite caching locations to include state parks, beautiful vistas, and historical points of interest! Our team of GeoTour planners have worked very hard to put together various cache types to keep the GeoTour interesting and challenging; however, no geocache should be beyond a 3/3.5 for terrain and/or difficulty! We are pleased to show you around our County and hope that you will enjoy the GeoTour and complete your passport to collect your custom GeoTour Geocoin (there is a minimum number of caches required to receive coin)!

If you will be caching with some young ‘uns, we have a Jr. Geocaching Passport available for children, 12 yrs. and under, with a special prize for their hard work too! Caches will be marked as "family-friendly" and should correlate to the Jr. Geocaching Passport.

Download your "Visit Centre County" GeoTour passport and/or your Jr. Geocaching Passport or pick-up paper copies at the following coordinates: N 40° 48.879; W 077° 51.274 (Happy Valley Adventure Bureau).

You'll return your passport to the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau when complete and collect your prize if you meet the minimum requirements! The "Visit Centre County" GeoTour is brought to you by Centre Region Parks and Recreation, the Happy Valley Adventure Bureau, and Groundspeak, Inc. We are pleased that you’ll be joining us in Happy Valley soon! Bring on the Adventures!

The Thrill Is Gone Gadget

Look for a large white box. There is a parking lot right next to it so drive around until you're REALLY close.

I considered calling this cache Bee Bee King, but after making the container I thought maybe "The Thrill Is Gone" would cross your mind before you determined that it was a geocache container. Finding the container should be easy, but can you get inside? This is a gadget cache, where the objective is not to find it; it is to open it. The container does not need to be disassembled or pried open. The puzzle is a physical puzzle which can be accessed by lifting the top off of the box. You will need to solve a puzzle to determine the combination of a combination lock which, when opened, will give access to the cache contents.

This cache was placed with permission of the golf course and hotel management.
