Parking co-ords ( or trail-head, if you have a suitable vehicle
) are: N 41º 32.461, W 080º 11.271. This brings you next to the
intersection of routes 285 & 19, just off I-79. A trail heads
uphill from this informal parking area, into a large open area.
Further back, another hill leads up into the woods. This trail
brings you to the cache.
DISCLAIMER
I am NOT listing this as a 4x4 cache, though it is possible to
use one. The trail has loose rock, mud, logs, and narrow sections.
Damage to your vehicle is a very real possibility. I DO NOT advise
use of your vehicle here, your feet are the best option.
Trail is intially wide enough for a vehicle, but at cache
location, narrows to a 4 wheeler path. A SMALL turn-around is here,
just big enough for the aforementioned short wheel-based vehicles.
If your jeep has to be waxed before you visit the mall, you
probably don't want to try this - hike it instead. Branches hang
down, the trail is muddy in spots, and the turnaround is tricky.
Some off-road experience is advisable
Cache is tucked in a forked hemlock. Just down the bank, a
spring trickles out of the ground. The hollow located here is very
peaceful, and great for chilling out !
