+ThePropers Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Yet again am traveling....to Uniontown this time. I will be there the evening of the 31st and November 1st. Anything with a decent hike/rewarding view or even a challenging/well camo'd "fun" or "unique" cache is fine. Would love suggestions. Hopefully it's not raining like my last two trips have been. Oh, and as always, food suggestions would be appreciated. Steak, seafood, Mexican, or Italian. The company's buying! Quote Link to comment
+benjamin921 Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Any of the Questmaster caches should do just fine. Quote Link to comment
+Quest Master Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 You can't go wrong caching in the "Fayette Cong" as it is affectionately known by geocachers in this part of the world. There are no junk caches here. Yet. Let me recommend my two favorite hides: Sand Quarry Polly Takes the Plunge Quote Link to comment
+ThePropers Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 Thanks! I will check these out when gc.com starts working again. Any food suggestions? So hungry.... Quote Link to comment
+DeskJocky Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Pechin's! Granted, this place has lost its luster since they upgraded locations... All joking aside, I've heard that Fabrizi's's right outside of Uniontown is very good. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure I'll hit up the Polly one....a 4 terrain might not be something I want to do alone. Quote Link to comment
+Muzikman Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 There are so many great caches down in that area (thanks mostly to QM). There really hasn't been any I have found that I haven't liked. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure I'll hit up the Polly one....a 4 terrain might not be something I want to do alone. I've done both of these while visiting Quest Master, Desk Jocky and Accident Prone Hiker. To me, the terrain for Sand Quarry was more "intimidating". But, if you can handle a uphill hike that is not too terribly long...you should have no problems completing Polly. It's another stage of the cache where you can "choose" how much terrain you want to tackle and the reason for the 4 star rating. You will need a bit more time for Polly than Sand Quarry. I don't want to give much away...but both of them are highly recommended! Salvelinus Quote Link to comment

Where are the Congsters getting their "fix"? Salvelinus Quote Link to comment
+ThePropers Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 Well, I'm back. It rained on Monday (and it was dark before I was out of work). Got out at a decent time today and had time for one cache and one cache only before heading back to Harrisburg. I decided to head over to Sand Quarry on my way back to the Turnpike. Wow, what a great freakin' area! I was really impressed when I got to the cache area, and am really glad I made the right choice on which cache to do. I loved it, and plan on going back with some friends and a bigger flashlight since I only had my little head LED lamp. Just wanted to let you know how I made out. I'll recommend it to all my friends! Did I mention how much I enjoyed this area? I can't believe it's just open to the public like that. Quote Link to comment

Salvelinus In regards to the Penchin's 'fix', I am sure the locals are having a hard time to find a better 5 cent cup of coffee or 95 cent daily lunch special... Quote Link to comment

If you do make it back to the Fayette Cong be sure to try out some of the other fine caches hidden there. Quote Link to comment
