Ground Hog Day Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Col Mustard: All the travel bugs were gone. The mugglers found this cache some time ago and after I replaced it, I think they kept coming back to raid it's contents. I worried about the safety of future TB's and coins so I'm retiring it.

Geocache Description:




In 1723, the Delaware Indians settled Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania as a campsite halfway between the Allegheny and the Susquehanna Rivers. The town is 90 miles northeast of Pittsburgh, at the intersection of Route 36 and Route 119.

The Delawares considered groundhogs honorable ancestors. According to the original creation beliefs of the Delaware Indians, their forebears began life as animals in "Mother Earth" and emerged centuries later to hunt and live as men.

Today we’re hunting for a ground hog (not to eat silly) to find our cache in Deerfield-Landen Park. I hope the history lessons holds some importance for you as you search for the hog. Happy hunting and good luck. Note: The container is enbedded in the ground--DON"T try to lift or extract it, just open the lid, and replace the lid and the cover as you found it. Thanks
