Geocache Description:


This cache is hidden at the posted coordinates.

This is a challenge cache where you must meet the requirements before logging as found. In order for you to claim a find you must first have found 100 or more caches in Centre County, Pennsylvania.

This cache requires a quarter mile round trip on a gamelands road, with slight uphill bushwhack at the container. The difficulty rating reflects the effort required to collect the 100 prerequisite finds. If the listed parking area is snowed under, parking is available across the street a little towards I99.

PGC Checker

The lands of the future Centre County were first recorded by James Potter in 1764. Potter, having reached the top of Nittany Mountain, and "....seeing the prairies and noble forest beneath him, cried out to his attendant, 'By heavens, Thompson, I have discovered an empire!'" After the American Revolutionary War, Centre County was created on February 13, 1800, from parts of Huntingdon, Lycoming, Mifflin, and Northumberland counties; it was named for its central location in the state.
