Geocache Description:

This cache is located somewhere in Bairdford Park in West Deer township. The above coordinates are for a reasonable parking location from which to start your hunt. Do not go to these coordinates expecting to find the cache!

This cache is an ammo can hidden in Bairdford Park, a park that used to become haunted during the month of October! Before you head out to look for this cache, you will need to figure out the coordinates. I'll start you out with this much: N 40° 37.XXX', W 79° 52.XXX' (big help, right?). The rest you will need to figure out from the information listed below on this cache page. After parking at the above coordinates, a reasonable trailhead to start the hike can be found at N 40° 37.773', W 79° 52.447'. There is a camera in the cache. Feel free to snap a photo or two of yourselves and leave it with the cache. Please trade fairly and take great care in rehiding it well to prevent it from being muggled. Also, please do not give away any information about the puzzle or other spoilers in your online logs, or they will be deleted. Please stay on trails as much as possible. The cache is located near an established trail. There are good CITO opportunities nearby. Good luck!
