This is our second hide in this lovely park, and one that will replace a previously archived cache that we found in this general area several years ago.
The park was created where a housing development was destroyed during the flood of 1996. This development, and now the park have had some significant events in my families history. As children, both my wife and I had several friends who lived here. During the flood, I was actually helping to rescue people from their homes. The development was destroyed but the community came together to form this beautiful park. Pavilions throughout the park were erected as Boy Scout Eagle projects from the troop my son was part of, and I helped to lead. Both of our children's high school graduation parties were held at the pavilions, and many other events happen here year round. The park was recently updated to include a frisbee golf course as well.
Mundy's machine is a hoisting engine that contributed to the anthracite coal region where we live. You can read more about this at the cache site. Tweezers will be needed, and we ask that you replace the cache exactly where you find it as this park is heavily used during the spring through fall. Muggles can be heavy at times, but you should be able to find this without causing too much of a distraction to those around you. Plenty of parking nearby so will be a short walk on level ground. No tools except tweezers are required, please do NOT disassemble this machine looking for cache.
Please log all DNFs so we can make sure this cache is intact and in good shape.
Congratulations Tundra Wolf, Bear13820, and Star on the FTF!!!
