Welcome to the Pennsylvania State Game Lands. There are over 1,492,861 acres to explore in this beautiful state. This series is simply to get you out and enjoy short, leisure hikes in seven separate SGLs.
This Final Mystery cache is a longer hike. Roughly 7-8 miles round trip from suggested parking. You MAY get lucky at various times of year to find the gate open. That will take you to within roughly 1 mile of the final cache.
Once you have visited all 7 traditionals and the final, you will have traveled roughly 15 miles total! (not including your driving)
SGL 166. I bring you back here for a second visit since this is my favorite of the local gamelands. I had one of my most memorable days of geocaching in this great big bowl. (look at a map)
No Bushwhacking involved. A enjoyable hike along a SGL road. I actually suggest bringing a bike for this final location. PLEASE observe all state game land rules and wear orange during hunting seasons.
Okay!! How exactly does this work!?
You are playing Seven Card Stud!
1. Collect the seven various cards at each "stage" or traditional cache location. (see below for 7 required caches)
2. Take those recorded cards and remove two...giving you your best possible Poker hand consisting of ONLY five cards.
3. Enter your winning poker hand into the Certitude checker that is linked below to receive the coords and a hint for this location.
***List your cards from Lowest GameLand number to the Highest GameLand number.***
HOW TO TURN YOUR CARDS TO A CODE:
*Lets say you have the following cards as your best five: 10 of Clubs in SGL198, 9 of Hearts in SGL108, Jack of Spades in SGL166, Jack of Hearts in SGL278, and King of Diamonds in SGL184.
*It would translate to the following to be entered into the Certitude Checker. YOUR SOLUTION MUST BE ENTERED LIKE THE EXAMPLE & WITHOUT SPACES. Example Solution: 9HeartJSpadeKDiamond10ClubJHeart
Once you enter the cards correctly, you will be given info to find the 50 cal ammo can!
