A Stroll Streamside Traditional Cache

Max Cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com

It looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While we feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. So that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If you are in the process of replacing or repairing your cache please e-mail me in response to this archival, and I will unarchive your cache.

After we posted a note to you cache requesting a response from you to post what you were planning to do with the cache on the page and sending us a note. We have no record of a response, and no response tells us that you are not planning on replacing, or repairing this cache if we are wrong with that assumption please let me know.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Geocache Description:


This cache explores trails that predominantly run right through town. A nice stroll along a lazy, pretty creek in Elizabethtown.

Cache is located along the Valley Creek run-off on the John Severns Trail. Includes number of trails leading to cache site.

In being a geology student and an avid fisherman, I often find myself looking for fossils and mineral samples where I am fishing.

This accounts for the odd array of contents in the cache. Anyone finding interesting fossils or mineral samples please add these to the collection in the cache, but feel free to take any you care to with you.

The cache is located among Alluvium(Qal) and St. Louis Limestone(Mgl). St. Louis limestone formation consists of limestone, shale, and dolomite. The fossils common with this formation are colonial corrals. 'Lithostrotion' proliferum and Syringopora.

Parking Coordinates: N 37* 41.511 W 85* 51.346

Parking Notes: Cross railroad on sidewalk ONLY, swing hard left to woods to find trailhead. Once you get to road-bridge ignore sign and go across to trail head for Severns Valley Trail.

Also in cache are logbook and pencil. Please hide back well after finding. The vines are not poisinous. They are the common Kudzu vines found around homes. Cache In, Trash Out!

If you have not already found Haycraft Pioneer Cache II, I would recommend checking out the cache page before attempting this one.
