This is a puzzle geocache. There is no container or relevant information at the posted coordinates.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

The United States has 63 National Parks. All of these parks have different beauty between each other. The oldest is Yellowstone (1872), and the newest is New River Gorge (2020). Each National Park has a 4 digit “Alpha Code.” The Alpha codes are made up of the first four letters of the park name. But if the park has more than one word, it takes the first two letters of the first two words. But there are some exceptions.

Examples:

1 word: Yosemite - yose

2 word: Petrified Forest - pefo

2+ word: Black Canyon of the Gunnison - blca

Exception: Carlsbad Caverns - cave

I will hide a geocache to honor all of these parks. I will do 6 groups of 10 caches . Most of these are a puzzle with 6 questions.

I used Wikipedia for this information, as it gives it all on one page. Also say in your log if you have been to this park. Make sure to post pictures if you have visited!

This cache replaces the archived GC7EHDT nps - cuva that was in an old stump that has fallen over and is decaying. Since it was a puzzle cache, I decided to archive it and replace with a new cache close by, but not in the exact same spot. This is also easier than having finders convert to new coordinates on a puzzle they may have solved a while ago.

I visited Cuyahoga Valley NP in January 2020 when going from Detroit to Pittsburg watching hockey. It was very underwhelming and the only national park I would not recommend to someone to visit. The park was established as a National Recreation Area because the river was so polluted it caught on fire twice, and then got upgraded to National Park status some years later. In my opinion, it should have stayed at National Recreation Area staus. 

The final container is at: N 38° 00.ABC W 122° 10.DEF

A. The park is 3A,572 acres 

B. Cuyahoga Valley was originally designated as a National Recreation Area in 1974, then redesignated as a national park 2B years later, and remains the only national park that originated as a national recreation area.

C. The Everett Covered Bridge—the only covered bridge in Summit County—was constructed after a local resident was killed attempting to cross the swollen Furnace Run in 1C77.

D. The park was established as a National Park on October 1D, 2000 

E.  Many visitors spend their time hiking or bicycling the park's many trails which visit its numerous attractions, including the crushed limestone along portions of the E0 mile Towpath Trail

F. The Towpath Trail follows the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. Before the canal was built, Ohio was a sparsely settled wilderness where travel was difficult and getting crops to market was nearly impossible. The canal, built between 1F25 and 1F32 (either number), provided a successful transportation route from Cleveland, on Lake Erie, to Portsmouth, on the Ohio River.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congrats to RV CREW and KCSearcher for the FTF!
