Look Ahead Traditional Cache
OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Nestled in the southeastern corner of Pennsylvania between the Poquessing Creek and the Delaware River, is one of the few counties in the nation that has developed a reputation in its own right. It’s a quaint and picturesque region of gentle rolling hills, of colonial towns, of covered bridges, of farms and old stone houses. It was recently portrayed--lovingly but with a bit of poetic license--as the idyllic small-town American backdrop of the movie Signs.
You might not think all that could come together just from looking at a map. Bucks County sits directly in the path of the ever-sprawling Northeastern megalopolis, bordering Philadelphia on its southeast, Trenton NJ on its northeast and Allentown to its north. Even New York City is only a little over an hour away--a few folks from the county actually commute daily to Manhattan. Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor slices right through it, and so do some major highways like the I-95 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Nor has Bucks managed to avoid the urban exodus and subsequent suburban land boom. It was here, after opening Levittown, NY, in 1947, that Alfred and William Levitt built a second planned suburb of Levittown, PA, in the early 1950s. Their low-cost housing for returning WWII veterans was a marvelous idea for the time, though this creation of suburban America set an unfortunate pattern that has proved rapacious. Whatever one’s attachment to liberty and free enterprise, it is hard for the poetic soul to mark it as unalloyed progress when local farms and woods get ground up, paved over and dotted with cookie-cutter construction.
Bucks County is nothing if not a land of history. The county’s first inhabitants (that we know of anyway) were the Delaware Indians--a tribe which would later become renowned as great warriors and hunters of the plains. The local tribe thrived in their woodland homeland and became one with nature. History has shown that this tribe took necessary steps to PLAN AHEAD for their future. However, the tribe just seemed to vanish from the area without leaving many signs that they were ever there.
This cache is placed in a wooded area near the Delaware Indian’s last known residence. When walking around this beautiful little secluded area, be sure to remember the great Delaware Indian tribe that once flourished in this area.
I hope you enjoy this little area as much as I did.
