Seven Wonders LogoThe Seven Wonders of Pike County

Dedicated to the perservation and appreciation of the natural and historical wonders in Pike County, Pennsylvania, through education and recreation.

The Seven Wonders of Pike County is a project supported by a 2009 grant from the Pike County Conservation District and developed by a team from the Delaware Valley High School in Milford, PA. Seven sites were selected as the most remarkable natural or historical wonders in Pennsylvania's Northeasternmost county, all of which are accessible to the public without an admission fee. The seven geocaches or earthcaches have been created to expose the visitor to some marvelous scenery while teaching some important scientific or historical lessons on site.

Rules for Completion of the Seven Wonders series
Visit all seven sites with a portable GPS unit, completing the tasks given in the description of the cache. For the two locations designated as puzzle caches, be sure to sign and replace the log book to be found at the site. For the five earthcaches, gather all information and send it to CaptainMath via the Geocaching messenger or directly to my email at captainmath05@gmail.com for verification. Log your find on the page, and post the required photo for the Earthcaches as described in each Earthcache description.
