30 cal. Ammo box along the remains of the historic Kittanning Trail. This is one cache in a series of LAGI (Labor day Anti Guardrail Initiative) caches.
This cache is hidden off a very small section is the Kittanning Path. I’ve heard all about the Kittanning Path but this is the only remaining visible section that I know of. There is a Historic marker at N40 36.042 W078 39.327. This is also the trail head. Watch the steps! They tilt downhill and are like something you would see in a Fun House.
The Kittanning Path was a major east-west Native American trail in western Pennsylvania used during the 18th century. It provided an overland route for the Lenape, Shawnee, and early European settlers across the Allegheny Mountains, terminating at its western end on the Allegheny River at the Native American village of Kittanning (at present day Kittanning, Pennsylvania), the largest Native American village in the Ohio Country west of the Alleghenies. It traversed a section of Pennsylvania closed to white settlement by the original settlement with William Penn, until opened by the Treaty of Fort Stanwix. In the 1750s, it was the scene of a fierce raids by Native Americans against white settlement, and a major British retribution campaign during the French and Indian War. It fell into disuse in the 1780s and was abandoned.
