Camouflage: from the French camoufler, to disguise
Welcome to CAM 2021. If you enjoy hiking, you have come to the right place. Please be respectful of the earth and practice CITO when possible. This part of the trail is actively maintained by volunteers from the surrounding counties.
This cache is near the Mason - Dixon Trail. The Mason-Dixon Trail connects the Appalachian Trail with the Brandywine Trail. This 199 mile long trail starts at Whiskey Springs on the Appalachian Trail, in Cumberland County, PA and heads east towards the Susquehanna River, passing through Gifford Pinchot State Park en route. The trail then follows the west bank of the Susquehanna River south to Havre de Grace, MD. Across the river, the Mason-Dixon Trail continues east, passes through Elk Neck State Forest, then on to Delaware.
This cache is just a bit off of the trail, about 0.4 mile from parking. To get here you will hike on a well-maintained trail, cross a small stream, trek up a bit of a hill, and come out on a dirt road. If you were to turn left on the road, you would eventually come upon some homes along Broad Creek. The people down there are friendly, but there is no reason to go down there. Follow your GPS to GZ, which is in a clearing for power lines. Thorns and such should be minimal, but as always, be wary of ticks.
If you chance to encounter a friendly young man in a 4 wheel gator with shovels and rakes in the back, that is probably Seth. He does road maintenenace for the HOA around here. Maybe you will make friends with Jack, his black Lab. Seth knows the cache is here, so no worries.
Please replace the hide as you found it, or maybe better. Enjoy your time on the trail.
Do not park in the area of the Boat Landing or near the wooden bridge. Parking is across the road on Paddrick Road.
