One of my favorite early finds.I decided to place another cache in the vicinity with an easy puzzle to solve.This spot offers an awesome view of the Loysburg Gap and the southern cove farmlands. Before heading out to find the container you must solve the puzzle to obtain the correct coordinates.

From the original cache by luvdisney & lux: "The cache is located at the Loysburg peak, a local scenic destination marked by the US flag and it's own visitor's logbook. This spot boasts a great view of the valley below featuring a patchwork of local farms.

parking is off the intersection of Route 36 and the Loysburg bypass (See Parking Coordinates below). Then follow the gravel road east to the walking bridge that spans Yellow Creek.

From there take all left turns on the Orange, then White trails to the peak. Along the way you will see several signs pointing the way to the flag.

The hike is a strenuous 800 vertical foot climb that gets more difficult after the nearby Yellow Creek MST cache. Expect to spend one and a half to two hours depending on your level of fitness and time spent enjoying the peak."

 Congratulations to OddMushroom for the First to Find.
