Eternal Flame 2 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Szuchie: Eternal Flame 2 has always been a special cache for me - and it's been a privilege to have maintained it for the last several years. That said, it's had a good run and seeing that there is an earthcache just down the way to share the flame with folks (GC10VMY - Eternal Flame Falls Earthcache), I think it makes sense to retire this one.

I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to those who have come from far and wide to visit here, while enjoying the cool hike down towards the falls.

Geocache Description:

Medium sized lock-n-lock hidden in the obvious spot.

This cache is located near the Eternal Flame in Chestnut Ridge Park. Here you will find a fiery flame encased in a beautiful cascading waterfall.

To get to the area follow the trail marked with Blue wooden blocks, there are other ways in, DO NOT USE THEM!!!! Every year some dumb person tries to climb the side of the falls and gets hurt here, STAY OFF THE CLIFF WALLS, they are loose shale and clay mud and are extremely slippery.

The Blue trail is well marked and of moderate to steep terrain, you will need to cross the water at a couple points along the trail so bring along a change of footwear. Every time I've been to the falls themselves the flame has been lit, however you might want to take a lighter along just in case, if the flame is out simply relight the indented area right next to the falls, it truly is a wonderful natural oddity.

This cache is located in an extremely muggle rich. Please be VERY careful not to be observed and twice as careful to hide the cache as well as you found it if not better! Additionally, please practice CITO to preserve this amazing area for all that come to enjoy it.
