bpratt: Well now, not only is the cache missing so is the building it was on. I found out where the building was moved to and I already have permission to hide another so stay tuned! Thanks for all who found this one :)

Geocache Description:

This cache is the third in my series of Drake Well caches and is placed with there permission.

Located in Venango county just outside of Titusville PA.Col. Drake's Well stands 49' high and is made of wood. The Well stands in roughly the same spot it did when it was drilled although what you see now is a replica that houses an engine that was used at the time the Well was drilled. Oil was struck at 69 1/2' on August 27th 1859. Most people do not realize that the date (month and day)are also the first three digits (not the area code)of any Titusville phone number 8-2-7.
You do not need to go any where near the railroad tracks on the other side of the road.
