BethKatzPA: Having bonus caches (especially if they are off-site) seems less desirable these days.

Geocache Description:


Container is not at posted coordinates which are at the parking for the pre-Revolutionary War Reiber House. In 2004, it was disassembled from its location in a hollow in the Creswell Landfill and moved a short distance here to the entrance to the Frey Farm Landfill. For information about that restoration, see PA HomeWorks Helps Restore Reiber House. For overall information about the landfill's projects, read this 2011 article.

This cache is a bonus for the Chestnut Grove Natural Area Adventure Lab a short distance to the south. Visit the locations of that Adventure Lab in about a 2-mile hike around the area to collect the information for the final location for this bonus cache.

There is a map of the area in the gallery for this cache showing the rough locations of the AL stages as well as trails. It is also at the bottom of this description. North is somewhat up on this map.

I have added waypoints for the stages on this cache.

The final is at N 39 57.AB0 W 76 26.CD2 with A B C D in the Adventure Lab journal entries.

Please be mindful of your feet when searching for the atypical container and do not trample any landscaping features. Search with your eyes. Bring your own writing implement.

 

Congratulations to NoBlueCircles on the Labor Day afternoon hike and bonus find.
