Geocache Description:

This cache is in the middle of the Loch Raven Reservoir Watershed. It is off of an unmarked but well ridden fire trail. You may have to look around the site a bit, as the trees distort the location. It's a good spot and a nice hike with a nice view.

Thanks for checking out my first cache. The cache is in a cedar tree grove, a few yards from the pristine Loch Raven Reservoir, Baltimore's main water source. From the site, one is able to sit and enjoy the beauty of the reservoir, just minutes from the bustle and chaos of Towson or Timonium.

The cache is in an clear airtight Rubbermaid polycarbonate container, approximately one quart. It may take a while to locate it, but it is visible without moving anything. Originally, I placed some Hot Wheels and some suction balls inside, as well as a log sheet and the Geocaching.com notice.

Free Parking is available along Dulaney Valley Road, to the north of the cache. Just be wary of passing cars as always. If you park at the aforementioned spot, check out Indy's Mars on his Solar System Tour, in the vicinity. And finally, if you park there, look at a map, you can't get to the cache via line of site.

If you prefer a trail that is bike accessible, there is a fire trail entrance about a half mile south of the parking location on Dulaney Valley, on the reservoir side of the road. You'll know it by the small parking area across the street. Just follow the trail!

Good luck and enjoy the hike.

UPDATE: 4/1/12 - It has been nearly seven years since I placed this one. I had seen a few DNFs, so I finally got out there and could not find it myself. There is a new cache in its spot. Cheers!
