The cache is in a camo painted pill bottle large enough to hold
small items in it. From the cache location you may just be able to
see two small private ponds on neighboring property.
The Paulinskill Valley Trail was once part of the right-of-way
of the New York-Susquehanna and Western Railroad. The route closely
followed the Paulins Kill, a tributary of the Delaware River, and
was originally used to transport agricultural products and
Pennsylvania coal to the cities and towns of eastern New Jersey and
New York City. The original portion of the line was built in 1886
and, over time, continued to expand. Railroad operations ceased in
1962. The state Green Acres Program ultimately purchased the
property for non-motorized recreational trail use in 1992. Historic
artifacts associated with the rail line, such as mile markers with
distances to and from its terminus in Jersey City, whistle stop
markers, depot foundations and railroad bridges are still in
evidence along the trail.
Belated congratulations to magicman/sewjourner for being the
first to find.
