This is a .50 Cal Ammo Can that was donated to me by JinxMagic. Thanks JM. There is a red NOLDE FOREST EE CENTER pen in the cache for the FTF. This is the pen I used to sign my DCNR agreemet. There are also numerous Nolde Forest Trail Maps. They could come in handy if you decide to make your way to the Nolde Mansion to collect the information you need to find the "Ace In The Hole" (GC1CRYN) puzzle cache (very easy) in Shillington Park. Also, While you are at Nolde, remember to look up the listing for "Earth, Wind, Fire, Water" (GCG6VV) a Nolde Multi Cache by Polgara'

There are also about three parking spaces at Gate 4: (N40 16.262 W075 57.580). There are larger lots at Gate 3: (N 40° 16.505 W 75° 57.815), at the Sawmill: (N 40° 16.870 W 75° 56.900), and at the North Pond: (N 40° 17.140 W 75° 57.115).
