History and Nature in Scranton(!)
Well, it would be impossible to explain how this cache hunt worked. Suffice it to say it was a four-stage hunt with devastatingly clever clues at each stage. Cachier and I made one really dumb mistake, which cost us well over an hour, but we found it in the end.
But I know that's not why you're here. I hope you're here because you enjoy the annotated pictures of the odd and wonderful places that these treks reveal. And I'm pretty much done with the words, so... enjoy!

This hunt covers a lot of territory, and only a bit of it is shown here. Don't want to spoil it for other geocachers on the list, ya know. Some of you may remember Nay Aug Park Zoo in Scranton. It's a little worse for wear, but still a nice spot, in a forlorn sort of way. |

The founders are inadequately memorialized. |

Allow me to introduce you to your guides... On the left, Gary - aka, "Cachier," and on the right, the webmaster. |

And now, on with the show. And if you don't like rocks and water, you can pretty much go home now.

And the team (after a successful conclusion) sends you best wishes for peace and the beauty of nature, and thanks to Master Geocachiers, Geo-remy and Seeker! |
And don't worry, the Gargoyle of Nay Aug Park looks way meaner than he really is!
