Just a Walk in the Park
We found this area of Settler's Cabin Park while
driving to the "Not Just a Walk in the Park" cache. We never
knew this area existed until that day!
In exploring the area, we found an interesting
"thing" and some other "stuff." We're bringing you here so
you can tell us what this "thing" and "stuff" are. It also
just happens to be a nice area for a walk. You are looking for a 30
cal. ammo can. FTF prize is a "Thanks for the Cache"
geocoin.
Please use the parking coordinates N 40.24.345, W
080.10.166, just off of Noblestown Road. Park in the very
large gravel lot, and walk past the gate up the deteriorating
road. While you may be tempted to drive up here, the
condition of the road is poor in some places, and, as the name
suggests, this cache is meant to be walked.
The majority of your walk will be along the old
road. To avoid an area that appears to have been a dumping
ground for old bottles, plates, and other ceramic housewares,
please stay on the road until you reach the waypoint of N
40.24.911, W 080.10.571 , then take the first trail to your
right.
The entire park
is a "No Hunting" area, but we did see shotgun shells, so please
use caution during hunting season.
The 2.5 terrain
rating is because of the distance you will walk (about 1.5 miles
roundtrip), and the road is a gradual incline. There is no
need to bushwack until the very end, and even this is very
light. Stay on the road and trail, or you WILL be in for a
nasty bushwack.
The cache is
kid friendly if they can handle the 1.5 mile walk. Use
caution when you reach the cache site, because there is that old
"thing" and "stuff" to be aware of.
OFFSET
GPS
reception was spotty in the area. Go to the above coordinates
and stand between the posts. Look at the wheel. The
cache is about 30 feet away at 9:30. This offset and your
geosense should be plenty to find the cache.
So, you've taken a walk and
found the cache. What is this "thing" and this
"stuff"???
