Most of the interesting wonders of the Dunbar mountains have a
story or legend to go along with them. This one is shrouded in
mystery.
This cache is located in a very unique place. It is situated on Pa.
State Gamelands 51 near the headwaters of a small stream known as
Big Piney Run. It is a mysterious place and not much information is
known about it. It is one of those places that all the locals say
they've heard of, but have no clue as to where it's located. It is
believed to be a pre-Civil War (or older) millstone quarry site. A
few of the old millstones remain and can be found in different
stages of the cutting process. It's quite mind-boggling to imagine
how the men of the quarry produced such a fine product with the
tools that were used back then. They were true craftsman, that's
for sure! Be sure and take the time to look around and admire their
craftsmanship.
Note: This cache is located on Pennsylvania State Gamelands.
Please familiarize yourself with all of Pennsylvania's hunting
seasons and their respective regulations. During the peak deer
season (November 15 - December 15, except Sundays), you must "wear
a minimum of 250 square inches of daylight fluorescent
orange-colored material on the head, chest and back combined or, in
lieu thereof, a hat of the same colored material. The material
