The Split Rock Mini Cache had some problems as I previously mentioned. However, it was extremely well described on the geocache web page. As with many things, the way you describe it has a big impact on the attraction to it. One thing I have noticed about good caches is that they describe not only the cache but also where to park to begin the hike. This is important because the latitude/longitude and a GPS will get you to the cache but not necessarily in the best way. For the Split Rock Cache, the web site said "Park at the PPL Ledgedale Natural Area on Kuhn Hill Road in Ledgedale, PA. Trail maps were available at the trailhead. This is another thing I have learned the hard way — always take a trail map if there is one. Even with GPS, it helps to have the overall perspective of the trail system.
