Geocache Description:

This is a game lands cache so please wear your orange and follow all the rules.
There is a large ditch next to the road that you will need to get across before heading to the cache but this can be a little easier if you walk up or down the road before crossing from the parking area.

During the heart of Prohibition a shall we say "gentalman" of the local area by the name of Jacob Ostergard had himself a rather lucrative business of moonshining going on in the general area of this cache. His stills were the biggest in the area and produced only the highest quality illegal Gin in the two state area. Through a network of sneaks and "vacuum salesmen" Ostergard's gin was delivered to the many back room bars and Speakeasys in the Corry and Youngsville areas along with Clymer and Findley Lake NY.
The business was a great success for may years till one day while doing a proofing test he managed to some how set his entire setup to flame. After sending his helper to safety Ostergard was killed when one of the tanks collapsed under the heat and the ensuing blast literally blew him to pieces and shook the ground for miles. After a rather lengthily search all of the remains were found with the exception of his head. Many people said that he got what he deserved but many more drank to his memory for as long as the back stock of the great mans Gin held out.
