. We decided to put it here for 3 reasons:
1st, It offers a nice easy one for those that have “Little Ones”
that love to go “Treasure Hunting”, like “Little Crock” does. Or if
you just want to grab a quick cache on your lunch break. It would
also be a good one to practice your nighttime hunting skills
on.
2nd, It can be used for a place to drop off Travel Bugs intended
to head to Northwestern Ohio (we travel there 1-2 time a month) or
other places. In the summer, Route 30 is still traveled a lot,
going east to offer a scenic route through the Laurel Mountains as
an alternative to the interstates, where everyone is in a hurry. It
also offers a place for the College Students from all over a place
to exchange Travel Bugs.
3rd, Along with the others we plan to place, it will offer a
little extra activity between training sessions for those that
visit Steelers Training Camp.
This road was put in but never really served a purpose (some say
it was old route 981). There is nothing at the end of it, and there
are no houses along either side of it. There is ground that could
be sub-divided into lots but there is another street that runs
parallel to this one that would serve them. Crock remembers when
they use to plow and salt this road in the winter even though it
had no purpose. They must have finally stopped when people in the
area complained about wasting taxpayer money to maintain it. A few
years after they quit maintaining it they piled some stuff along
the front of the road to stop people from partying there.
Although you can get closer to the cache from other locations
please use the parking coordinates given. If you don’t it will
attract complaints from the neighbors about blocking the street,
and you may get a ticket if you park along route 981. It is very
easy as it is, if you need it any easier, maybe this sport isn’t
for you.
Please park in front of the piles of debris that are blocking
the road on Monastery Drive off of Route 981.There is enough room
for 3 – 4 cars. Parking: 40 17.736 N – 079 23.584 W Cache: 40
17.598 N – 079 23.608 W
Be Stealthy!! Thanks and I hope you have fun.
Note: We can try to clean this area up, but it seems as if the
people in the area use this as a dumping grounds for their yard
debris.
