ASP High Point Reached

This past weekend we attended the GeoBash II in Allegany State Park, which is a Geocaching event to gather all the local geocachers together. They have all kinds of different events going on during the coarse of the day but its mostly for caching and meeting people that enjoy the same hobby.
Evil Diva was determined to grab the ASP High Point cache which was being removed/archived on Sunday. As the name describes, this is at the HIGHEST point in the entire State Park which is at 2384 feet. The trek up the hill is 1.5 miles which seemed like a lot more considereing we had to bushwhack our way to the top seeing the original hunters path is poorly marked and we did not have the TOPO maps on our GPS to follow the ridge.

We had two young ones with us that made it .75 miles up which took 1-1/2 hours and their little legs couldn’t take any more, so Evil Diva’s cousin offered to take them back to the car which allowed us to walk at a better rate for the remaining .5 miles. Once we finally made it to the top, unfortunately there was nothing to see this time of year due to the tree coverage but in the fall it would be a great view but we only took a quick break and made our way back down the hill at a very fast pace. We made it back in 30 minutes which was pretty good considering the kids just got to the bottom of the hill 15 minutes before us.
