Geocache Description:


Susie Q. This was also Creedence Clearwater Revival's first single. They went on to become one of the biggest bands of the late '60s and early '70s. (visit link)
Cache is located on a portion of the former New York, Susquehanna, and Western RR bed. Much of this NJ rail bed is still known as NYS&W, or the “Susie Q” for railroad buffs. This rail went from Jersey City to Stroudsburg, PA. There was also a northbound extension that traveled toward Wilkes Barre, PA. I recently learned it was featured in a movie "The Station Agent". Haven't seen it yet, but my interest is piqued. This was both a passenger and freight line. I've also learned that a combination of the two was pulled along these tracks simultaneously. A one mile section near Delaware Water Gap is now formally known as the Karamac Trail in Worthington State Park.
Try to imagine traveling aboard a passenger car through here. Near by are the remains of two stone pillars, some Belgian type curbing, and stone foundations. There must have been something of significance here. Would be interesting to learn what. In close proximity as well are the remains of an old rail car and signal apparatus.

Area could be a little mushy only at times. Appropriate footwear suggested. Yes the container is classified a micro, but I'd call it a macro micro or a mini small. I've used this type of container before. I like it and think it's very versatile. Yeah it's where you think it is. Did you double check?

Good luck, have fun, be safe, CITO, and cache on.

As will all our caches: NOTHING NEEDS TO BE EXTREMELY DISRUPTED TO FIND THIS CACHE. Tastefully hidden, use your eyes and your noggins.
