On March 22,2026, I came here and did the full lap of this Geoart. I replaced 4 that were missing. I repaired 4 that were damaged or missing. I got to all 25 existing geocache locations. There's only one problem with the whole artwork. Number 4 was archived in 2019, but I believe this was a mistake because the gracious creator of this series, SUNNY52, is sadly no longer with us. I do not want this unique artwork to disappear, so I made this geocache to "fill in the gap" for the missing one that was no longer active.
The following information was from the previous incarnation of Number 4.
The thought behind this cache is three-fold...PENNSYLVANIA is the KEYSTONE STATE.....One of our FAITHFUL REVIEWERS is known as "Keystone"......And the KEYSTONE SYMBOL is seen through out gameland 174.......A "KEYSTONE"as an architectural tool is a central stone in an arch that holds all others in place...Pennsylvania became known as a KEYSTONE in the Union, holding an important role in the economic, social, and political development of the UNITED STATES.......As does our FAITHFUL REVIEWER...Keystone...Plays an important part holding the CACHING WORLD together......And finally our many gamelands as KEYSTONES preserve our rich PENNSYLVANIA HERITAGE.....

HAPPY CACHING & HAVE FUN BUSHWACKING.!.!.!
This cache has been hidden slightly off of the main trail. I used the exact coordinates of the original geocache but these coordinates may be about 20 feet off from the actual location of this cache. It is NOT the same PVC tube as the original hides, but it is a camo pill bottle. It is anchored in spot and the difficulty and terrain ratings ARE accurate for this one.
I hope this brings a few new people out to this artwork and inspires them to go for the whole keystone series.
Thanks again SUNNY52!!!!!
