The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular
geocache, however, it is also part of the Allegheny GeoTrail (AGT),
a publicly funded project designed to promote a pleasant and
positive experience and image of the Allegheny National Forest
region and its gateway communities. The AGT utilizes the growing
interest in geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the
area in learning more about the unique attractions in the ten
participating counties. This cache contains a unique self inking
rubber stamp which you should use to stamp your Allegheny GeoTrail
Passport to verify that you found it. When you have found a minimum
of six AGT caches, you will be eligible to have your AGT passport
validated and receive a commemorative AGT trackable geocoin at
participating locations. You must have your official AGT passport
with you when you find this cache in order to stamp it. Click on
the Allegheny GeoTrail Logo below to visit the AGT website at
www.alleghenygeotrail.com for complete details and a listing of
participating locations where you may pick up and validate AGT
passports to receive your souvenir geocoin, trackable at

Uncommon to Mooch and Earl – this cache is an easy one. No
questions to answer, no steep hills to climb, no tricks. The
terrain is flat and level. It is located right off of one of Oil
Creek State Parks’ cross country ski trails (The Winter Walk Trail-
blazed blue) and the walk is LESS THAN A MILE! If you would like to
walk the entire Winter Walk Trail – it makes a 3 mile loop. Oil
Creek State Park is the only state park in Venango County.
The park consists of over 7,000 acres of wooded hills, deep
hollows and over 12 miles of meandering Oil Creek in the scenic and
historic Oil Creek gorge. Most of the oil boom locations have
returned to the natural beauty of the wild and look almost as they
did before Drake drilled for oil in 1859.
** IMPORTANT NOTE: If there is snow on the
ground when you attempt this cache PLEASE DO NOT step in the
established ski tracks!! If the ski tracks are tramped on by
shoes—it ruins the ski tracks for the skiers. Please help continue
to make this park enjoyable for everyone!
*** Second Important NOTE: Please hide the cache just as well as
you found it or BETTER! *** please wear
orange in hunting
