Geocache Description:

Very easy walk, even OK for all-terrain strollers. Trail might be very wet after heavy rains.

This cache is placed by permission of DCNR:



This is a hiking trail suitable for the entire family (including dogs!). Total distance is less than a mile.

This is a replacement cache! The original was a camo laundry bag in the hollow of an old tree. A Thanksgiving '06 storm blew the tree down and the cache has gone missing.

The new cache is hidden in a more traditional manner on a very different part of the trail. Reception there is better, so I lowered the difficulty rating. The new cache is a shoebox sized ZipLoc container.

The main attraction is the Interpretive Trail. There are two dozen posts with numbers on them and a guide that explains what you are looking at and why it is significant.

This area (nearly all of the forest in this region) is home to Timber Rattlesnakes. Use appropriate caution, especially in the warmer months.

Original contents of the replacement cache are a log book and pencil (of course) and an assortment of dollar store items for people of all ages. There are a series of geocoins, including a FTF Geocoin that isn't registered. The FF of the new cache can claim it and then own it.
