The caches at Indian Orchards

Yet another local park that I didn't know existed.  This tract of land was actually given by all of the local residents to preserve the land.  A quick way to get 4 easy caches.  Although one of them is actually located on the Linvil trail system which is adjacent to Indian Orchards and the trails link together to form one extensive trail system.  In the future, the Linvil trail will link to what will be the Middletown Rails to Trails system to make for an even broader adventure. 


You can enter the Indian Orchards trail system via Indian Orchards Park or through the Linvilla Orchards side on Linvill Road via the entrance to Hidden Hollow Swim Club.  This is the approach I chose to take.

Great scenery on the Linvil Trail approach to Indian Orchard Trail

Where the Linvil and Indian Orchard trails meet

X-Men Marks The Spot: Colossus  ( GC1Z7C1 ) was one of the best camouflage jobs I've seen on a cache yet.  It blended right in with the surroundings.  I didn't think it was the cache when I first uncovered it and saw it.  Phobia #10 ( GC1AJME ) was symbolic of the phobia of bees.  Cache container was very well done.

Scouts' Stash ( GC1T29M ) was deep into the preserve.  It was placed there to commemorate the spot where the Girl Scouts used to set up camp.  Sink or Swim ( GC1ZV0J )  was a little tough to get to, but after finding a good spot to cross the stream I managed to find without looking too hard.  Picked this one up on my way back through the Linvil Trail.
