Geocache Description:


From its start north of here along the mountain ridges, the spring fed waters of Rocky Gap
Run flow into Lake Habeeb and continue an aquatic journey towards the Chesapeake Bay.
Leaving the lake, the water flows into Evitt's Creek, and eventually empties into the Potomac
River. The Potomac River flows almost 300 miles eastward to its ending place at the
Chesapeake Bay.

The journey of clean water can only continue with forested areas protecting this sensitive
watershed. A buffer of trees improves and maintains the quality of water flowing into the
Chesapeake Bay. The forested areas also provide scenic beauty, better wildlife habitat,
stabilized soils and recreational opportunities.

Lake Habeeb provides habitat for beavers, muskrat and a variety of waterfowl and fish.


The cache you seek is hidden just a short walk away from this informational marker. Substitute numbers from the marker into the following Coordinates: N 39° 42.ABC W 078° 38.DDC where:

A = the number of letters in the only type of fish pictured on the marker PLUS ONE.
B = the number of letters in the type of duck pictured on the marker.
C = the number of four legged farm animals pictured on the marker.
D = the number of mammals pictured on the marker TIMES TWO.

The container you seek is a well hidden small sized lock'n'lock hidden nearby containing a logsheet and a few small items of swag but no room for a stylus so be sure to BYOP!

This cache was placed for the MGS 2021 Fall Picnic. Cache is about 15 feet off of a secondary path from the road. Please protect the cache from muggles and bring your own pen.

Do NOT park on the road or by the camping gate. You will need to park at the White Pine Shelter and walk the Lakeside Loop Trail.
