THIS CACHE IS PLACED NEAR THE LORAIN PUBLIC BOAT LAUNCH. YOU CAN REACH THIS CACHE FROM STARTING AT THE BOAT LAUNCH PARKING LOT. THEN YOU CAN MAKE THE CHOICE OF THE HIGH ROAD OR THE LOW ROAD. THE LOW ROAD RUNS ALONG THE BLACK RIVER AND THE HIGH ROAD ABOVE...CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.
WHILE HIKING ON THE SOON TO BE NEW PARK OF THE LORAIN PORT AUTHORITY I CAME ACROSS SOME OLD RUINS OF A TIME WHEN THIS LAND WAS OWNED BY THE B & O RAILROAD. THE RUINS ARE WHAT IS LEFT OF THE ORIGINAL B&0 COAL DOCK. THIS DOCK WAS IN OPERATION STARTING IN THE 1880'S. IF YOU TAKE THE HIGH ROAD MAKE SURE YOU GO DOWN THE STAIRS TO YOUR LEFT AND LOOK AT WHAT IS LEFT OF THE OLD PLATFORM WHERE A HULLET UNLOADER WAS ONCE IN USE AT THE COAL DOCKS. YOU CAN STILL SEE THE IRON WORK THAT HAS BEEN CUT AWAY AND THE FOUR LARGE COUNTER WEIGHTS USED FOR THE CRANE. IF YOU HAVE CHOSEN THE LOW ROAD IT WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT THOUGH IT. BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR BENCH MARKS THEY ARE VERY COOL. TRAVEL JUST PAST THIS STRUCTURE AND YOU WILL FIND GROUND ZERO.
