Geocache Description:

This is a fairly easy and short walk, the terrain rating is basically for the thorns. Parking should be obvious and the cache should be an easy find, but again watch for thorns.

This cache is placed among the ruins of the Thomspon #2 works once owned and operated by the Helca Coal and Coke Company. Railroad access for this facility and the nearby Tower Hill no. 2 works was via a backwards move off of the Lilly Run branch. A number of old buildings remain, though nature is well into reclaiming the site.

Since this isn't a very difficult or time consuming cache, you might want to take a few moments to explore the ruins, but use caution. Cache is a very large ammo can, and should be a piece of cake to find (use the hint if you need it)

CAUTION: There is a very tall and VERY derelict brick building in the vicinity that looks like it could fall in at any moment (much of it already has). The cache is not in or around this building and while pictures from a safe distance are advised, I'd stay the heck away from that thing (in fact, I did).
