Geocache Description:

A nice walk in the woods along a Game Lands road.

If doing the whole series, it will be approximately a 2 mile round trip walk/hike. If visiting during fall/winter hunting seasons (October-January), the gates should be open and you can drive along this road, making the walk much shorter (but more boring in my opinion!).

I am an avid hiker and love to visit Pennsylvania State Parks, State Forests, and Game Lands.  When I visit, I am always on the lookout for a scenic mountain view.  This series of caches (5 in all) lead you to a pretty scenic mountain view I found in PA State Game Lands 26.  The parking for this cache is along Route 869 (Burnt House Road), just outside of Beaverdale, PA. (Use coordinates for #1 of this series, GC78DCB ( https://coord.info/GC78DCB ) As you are in State Game Lands, wear your orange!  Or better yet, save these caches for a Sunday, especially during the fall hunting season.  

This cache requires a steep, but short climb along a powerline trail.  But you are here!  The view!  From here you can see Herman Point (with the towers) and Blue Knob, PA's 2nd highest mountain (but the highest ski-able mountain!).  Take a break here and enjoy the view.  If you're here in July, you may just find a patch of sweet, wild blueberries!  I hope you've enjoyed this series.  If you did, let me know in your log, I love reading logs of those who find my caches.  And if you can, post a picture of that nice view!
