Geocache Description:


The Mason Dixon Trail connects the Appalachian Trail with the Brandywine Trail. This 193 mile long trail starts at Whiskey Springs, on the Appalachian Trail, in Cumberland County, PA and heads east towards the Susquehanna River, passing through Pinchot State Park en route. The trail then follows the west bank of the Susquehanna south to Havre de Grace in Maryland. Across the river, the M-DT continues east, passes through Elk Neck State Forest, then on to Iron Hill Park in Delaware, north along the Christina River and White Clay Creek to the White Clay Creek Preserve. The trail then heads northeast to its eastern terminus at Chadds Ford, PA on the banks of the Brandywine River.

My son and I occasionally hike sections of the M-DT. We've covered about 30 miles to date. We started at the Eastern terminus near the Brandywine River Museum. I noticed that the trail lacked caches so on our last hike, I hid two.

This cache and Mason - Dixon #2 can be reached from the same parking spot. The parking is along a neighborhood road. The trail is marked with blue blaze marks.

The cache is stocked with Hot Wheels cars. If you can trade a car, please do.
