Geocache Description:


In 1993, Western Pennsylvania and most of the East Coast experienced what would be deemed as the Storm of the Century. During the 24 hours between March 13-15, a record-breaking 23.6 inches of snow fell in the Pittsburgh region. 

At that time, Mama Adventurer was a mere 18-year-old. Still living with her parents but enforcing the fact that she was an "adult" and could make her own decisions, she chose to attempt the mile drive to her boyfriend's house on the morning of March 14th, dreading the idea of being stuck in her house with her parents and young sisters for one more minute. She made it 1/2 way there before sliding into this spot and inches away from the newly placed gazebo. 

20 years later, after marrying that boyfriend and moving into the house that Mama Adventurer was trying to get to that day, the Young Adventurer wandered to the same location with a friend in the summer. They were playing in the drain pipe, when they got caught by another family member who promptly gathered them up and brought them home. 

You'll be looking for a camoed pill bottle here. Parking your car might be harder than finding the cache. I'd recommend using one of the neighboring side streets and walking from there, as this is a much busier road than it used to be.
