Parking for this cache is in the Tidal Union Cemetery but the cache has been placed on private property with permission from the landowners. If you park at N40 57.533, W079 29.907 it is only 330' to the cache and there is no need to cross any graves. NO night caching.
GPS tends to get bouncy here, but posted coords got me within 5-6' every time after it settled down. You're looking for a regular sized container within a larger regular sized container. Prize for FTF.
You can view part of the village of Tidal in the valley below you as you walk to GZ. The village of Tidal is located in Madison Twp, Armstrong Co. The township was formed and named after US President James Madison in 1837. The Tidal area was settled in the early 1800s and many of it's earliest settlers are buried in the Tidal Union Cemetery. The village first had the name of Shoup Town, being named after one of the area's prominent early German families. In 1888 a post office was established in Sam Heath's General Store and an "official" name had to be found for the village. To find a name, Postmaster Heath set forth reading his Bible and settled on the name of "Tidal", which was the name of an obscure king of Goiim found in Genesis, chapter 14. The Tidal post office was discontinued in 1940, but the name stuck. HORSES were used to deliver the mail in the old days.
Congratulations to KNAPAHOLIC for FTF.
