Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Arrive at the posted coordinates and park in front of the main office of the Glafelter Facility on South Main Street. DO NOT leave your vehicle! This is a very busy area and there is NO need to enter the building! Using your car radio turn it to FM 107.1. You should hear audio regarding the 150th Anniversary of the Glatfeleter Company. The audio is on a repeat, so depending on when you arrive, you may need to listen to the audio twice. Instructions are given on how to locate the final cache at the beginning of the audio. Enjoy!
The geocache hidden at the posted coordinates is a regular geocache, however, it is also part of the 2014 (Phase II) Spring Grove GeoTour (SGGT), a project designed to promote the many businesses and other places of interest in the Spring Grove Area. The SGGT utilizes the growing interest in geocaching to assist both residents and visitors to the area in learning more about the unique attractions.
Caches placed in 2013 (Phase I) are delineated by SGGT. Originally 32 caches were placed and 25 were required to redeem the coin. These caches and coins are still available!
Caches placed in 2014 (Phase II) are delineated by SGGT14. Coins for this phase will be a multiyear coin that will require cachers to complete each new phase to complete the multiyear coin.
