This cache is located along the new Baltimore County
bicycle/pedestrian pathway occupying the old Dolfield Road between
Red Run Blvd. and the Dolfield Rd/Pleasant Valley Intersection in
the Owings Mills New Town Area. You do not need to leave the path
to find this cache but you may need to look over behind things to
find the item. This is a small cache so bring a pen to sign in on
the log paper. Until construction is completed, this ped/bikeway is
not handicapped accessable.
The location of this cache is a bit down the trail off Red Run Blvd
to give you a good feel for a brand new transportation facility. It
is a nice paved pathway for foot traffic, jogging, walking the dog,
being with the family, bicycling, and other enjoyable and healthful
endeavors. Once completed, this pathway will also be wheelchair
accessable. At the moment, parking to use this new ped/bikeway is
very limited but more local proximity parking lots will be open
soon along Red Run Blvd. At the New Town segment near the other end
of the ped/bikeway, parking can be found at a small community Park
with access off Dolfield Road in the northeast quadrant of the
Dolfield Rd/Parkers Farm Rd/Dolfield Blvd intersection with access
next to a private home. This is very near where the new Dolfield
Blvd bridge is under construction. Currently, the ped/bikeway's
other starting point is just east of the single car bridge crossing
at the Dolfield Rd/Pleasant Valley Rd intersection. Once completed,
this ped/bikeway will extend from Red Run Blvd. to Solders Delight
Natural Park past the New Town development area. This path will
provide bicycle and walking transportation access from New Town
communities to businesses along Red Run Blvd., to the Owings Mills
Mall, and eventually to the Owings Mills Metro Station. Enjoy the
walk and the cache hunt.
