This cache is on PA State Gamelands #179 in Greene County. Please cache with caution during hunting seasons. You'll need to bring a writing implement for this one.
Parking coordinates - N39 49.259 W080 22.299
You'll begin your trek in one of Greene County's deep "hollers". You'll climb 400 feet in the 3/4 mile hike, but there's a nice view at the top.
Stage 1 is a micro. It is a small, green, aluminum capsule. It is secured to a rock in order to keep it in place. You'll want to look for the rock, since the capsule is under it. Inside, you'll find the coordinates for the final cache, which is a large, black ammo can.
The best route to this cache is NOT a straight line. Follow the paths, (although they get a little overgrown in the summer). Bushwhacking isn't necessary until you're close to the cache.
One final note - The best accuracy I could obtain from my GPS at stage 1, was 40 feet. Keep this in mind, and feel free to post your coordinates.
**August 2013 update - Stage 1 was moved slightly due to the decay of the nearby structure. The final was moved further down the hill, closer to stage one. Follow the path from stage 1 - field may be overgrown in summer.
