Manimal437 Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Check this cache out: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...c8-665f5c3537ff Are there any similar to this one in PA? I'm looking for something that would most likely require a group of people and multiple days to complete ... call it a project for this summer Quote Link to comment
+retphoto Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Right now I would say Choices might qualify....it's a very hard cache. And I think it's safe to say, that it be near impossible to do right now. At least to do it properly. those first 2 stages are not very snow friendly. Anyone else who's done it, do you agree???

+Waterboy Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 We have done Choices, and it is a very good, and a hard cache. However our first two recommendations are for Cary Mountain and Shades of the past. Quote Link to comment
+nikcap Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 The only cache locally the I know of that even comes close to B&Gs is Magoo's Memories of Merit, this is member only, so in short it requires you to find two very difficult micros, a mathamatical puzzle, a trip through the mud, and a multi where you need to us you brain a little more then you'll need your GPS. This will all change when Blood & Guts in New Jersey appears this summer. Quote Link to comment
+The Frantic Cachers Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 This will all change when Blood & Guts in New Jersey appears this summer. Why does this sound like a warning? Quote Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 On my to-do list for summer of 2004 are What a Long Strange Trip it's Been, a 5/4.5 multicache that took the first finder 14 hours to score the smiley, and The Fellowship of the Ring, a 5/3 multicache that's among the best planned and executed multi's out there. That one could require multiple trips if you're not familiar with the LOTR series and you answer too many of the multiple choice questions incorrectly. Both of these are in the Erie area and were hidden by Mike Chmi, who (sadly for us) has moved to Iowa. But his caches are still maintained by his fellow Gamehenge Rangers so that we all can enjoy them. There is nothing close to this epic scale in Southwestern Pennsylvania, but you can't go wrong if you chose to spend a weekend finding several of Quest Master's caches. The average person can do maybe 3 of these in a day, perhaps a few more if they are familiar with the Fayette Cong area and don't get lost or stuck on back roads. Quote Link to comment

And there is always Enfanta's favorite cache of all time...lol There is also a bunch of new ones popping up that i'm looking forward to this spring.

+Tprints Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I was going to mention "What a Long Strange Trip it's Been" here in Erie but Leprechaun beat me to it. I was the one that took 14 hours to find the sucker. It took the cacher who found it first with me even longer, much longer. It also added up to about 10 miles of hiking. Quote Link to comment
+Mastifflover Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 You should try this one. The logs for it are great!! I am going to do this one when we don't have 3 feet of snow on the ground. Blood Campers 2003 Quote Link to comment

I am going to do this one when we don't have 3 feet of snow on the ground.Blood Campers 2003 Although it does look to be a difficult one, Mike Chmi found this along with 2 other caches in one day. I can almost guarantee that you can't find more than just Mike's own "What a Long Strange Trip" cache in one day. I do plan on looking for this one though, hopefully this year. Quote Link to comment
+Mastifflover Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Let me know when you want to go Tprints. It is pretty much in my backyard. Ok not my backyard but only about 10 miles from it. Quote Link to comment
+Salvelinus Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 (edited) I've been thinking about this thread for awhile and decided to base my opinion on the most physically difficult cache I have done. Hands down the winner would be Brush Mountain. Although I never did make it for "Choices" and the "1000 steps" was grueling, this is the only cache I have done where I would not recommend doing it alone. Although I did...it was stupid of me. Too many things can go wrong even if you are prepared. Not only is it a long physically demanding hike, it is also a haven for rattlesnakes. You will likely see them if you do this one in the summer. Hopefully you will tread lightly and leave them alone. After all...its their mountain! This cache has drawn more than its share of blood, destroyed shoes, ripped pants and demolished a water bottle or two. Come prepared...but leave the melons behind! Read the logs for more evidence! The sense of accomplishment after doing this cache is truly the essence of caching for me. Salvelinus By the way...If I remember correctly this one CAN be found in the winter. But add a star to the terrain rating! Salvelinus Edited February 4, 2004 by Salvelinus Quote Link to comment
