Cranberry Tri-River Rail-Trail is a 16.5 mile trail that begins in the city of Richwood WV and follows the old Baltimore & Ohio rail line along the Cherry and Gauley rivers, and crossing the mouth of the Cranberry river. B & O was one of the oldest, and the first 'common carrier' railroad in the United States. There is a lot of information on the net about B & O.
Much of this trail runs along the western edge of the Monongahela National Forrest and, for now, terminates near the 640 foot "Saras Tunnel". The first six miles of the trail pass through town and adjacent to residents' yards. The recomended trail head is in Holcomb WV. This series will show you some parts of the trail that you may otherwise decide to skip.
More information on the CTRRT may be found at The West Virginia Rails-to-Trails Council
Fenwick is one of the 'official' trail heads. Parking at the post office just north of the Rt. 39 bridge.
The Cache: Since this cache is near the post office, I just couldn't resist makeing it a letter box. Small swampy area just prior to the cache.
You are looking for a 4x4x2 lock & lock container. The stamp inside is for letterboxers and is not to be removed from the cache. Bring your own ink pad & pen.
Room for small trade items.
Congratulations labs2 on their very first FTF
