Log Book: Signed
Notes: This was a fun one. Started out with Pete, Sam, Tom, and Jackson at N39 00.911 W77 32.556, a small outcropping by the reservoir. Trails were unpassable, and we were .76 miles away, so abandoned area and drove through a new development, then through some very muddy trails which became unpassable. Mike, Pete, Sam (in backpack) hiked about .4 miles through some rough terrain and barbed wire to finally locate the spot and (eventually) the cache (which had a nice "view"). On the way out, the game warden and several police cruisers were waiting for us. They informed us that the land was not public, and they also found a hunter out there shooting a few days earlier. We were released on our own recognizance, and proceeded to Tom's house to watch the Eagles defeat the Falcons and clinch the NFC East title.
Has this cache been subsequently found by others? Yes
