Parking Coordinates: N40 16.911 W079 32.869 Both stages of this cache are located along The Five Star Bike Trail. Find the first cache, then use the coordinates hidden inside to walk or bike the trail to the second cache. After finding the final cache, continue down the trail into Lynch Field to find another cache (Lynch Mob).
The Five Star Trail runs along the Southwestern Pennsylvania Railroad line between Lynch Field in Greensburg and Youngwood, PA. The Five Star Trail is great for walking, hiking, jogging, and bicycling. It is 6.0 miles in length. This Rail with Trail project is named after the five municipalities through which the trail passes: Greensburg, Hempfield Township, South Greensburg, Southwest Greensburg, and Youngwood. |

Open Log: Non-commercial use only We love the Five Star and ride it often. I did this cache with my dad and 5 year-old niece. The first stage reminded me of why I dislike micros in parking lots. We had to contend with some muggles in the guise of BestBuy employees who were helping out the Westmoreland County Parks department with a few trail maintenance tasks. After considering it might be buried in a rockpile, stuck on the port-o-john, or lost in the weeds, I hit on the idea to follow the trampled vegetation to the prize and that worked this time around. We brought our bikes to ride the trail but distance was a little far for Pap Pap who had bypass surgery last year. We rode from a somewhat closer parking spot to get at the final which was easily found by following the skid marks. I was reminded that there aren't many good spots to hide a cache along the Five Star and that this is probably why caches haven't prospered there. It wasn't easy getting to the cache even though the conditions were dry and I was wearing good hike boots. My niece desperately wanted to climb up to the cache and she gave it a good try but she just couldn't make it. I had to bring it to her so that we could do our business with it. I don't remember the trades but I do remember that we did some. Thanks for the extra bit of fun in one of our favorite places!

Open Log: Personal use only Lazysunday found it as twilight was approaching. 5 Star has always been a nice trail for running through some of the older run down areas that it does. Thanks for the cache! TNSL Left Travel Bug Mouse.

Shared a FTF with Thumpmaster. Was at the first stage earlier but had to leave to take one kid to a music lesson, so took other two kids back to search again. More muggles this time making it really hard to be stealth. Thumpmaster approached while we were trying not to look so obvious. When we realized it was cachers we decided to just keep searching. Older son found first stage. Moved on to second stage, but Thumpmaster beat us to it. Oh well no biggie. At least we can each claim a FTF on this one. Bet that doesn't happen often. TFTC
