One of the easiest ways to trap me was to hang a sign saying free paddleboat rides on a boat trap. Fate was not with me today as these inviting nautical, pleasure rides were unavailable and the boathouse was closed.
The host geocaches under the name Redbat. He's a great human who cares about people and the planet. If you are a geocacher visiting this and have ever had the joy of seeing the remote places of the Legacy of Conservation trails, this is the man to thank for your memories.
Redbat was also the first event host of which I am aware who held a contest for the weighted ammo can toss. He has the perfect launching pad (above the beach) and the perfect landing pad (below the beach).

There's form, kinda.
There's Action, including a pregnant cacher pitching an ammo can that weighs about the weight of a newborn.
Fortunately there were no unexpected births as a result of the ammo can toss. Actually the mom-to-be followed up with a race around the lake as part of a scavenger game.
Ali participated and showed good form and a nice place in the game.
As for me, well.... I came in dead last. 😞 I'm game. Everyone has a bad day. I think I missed the sign of what very bad things would happen just two weeks later.
After some more visiting with friends, we made our way to a park trail with sights and a cache.
We left the park and made our way to Panther Rocks in Moshannon State Forest. Panther Rocks is a smaller rock formation, with super structures. It made for a fun visit on a quiet day.
Our last stop was a return visit to the old coke ovens near Hollywood. We've been here multiple times but enjoy our return visits. The number of intact honeycombs is decreasing, but we spotted a group still intact.
