Geocache Description:

This cache takes you to a very interesting mosaic map created by the AMD & ART project that was completed two years ago in the area. The Abby piece of the cache name really has nothing to do with the cache itself, it's our daughter who was with us when we placed the cache.

This is a map of Vintondale, PA as it looked in the early 1900's. Around the map are other tiles which picture different scenes from around town at the time. Directly across the trail was a mine entrance which is still draining today. Access to the cache is from either direction on the ghost town trail but the closest place to park is the listed parking coordinates. Cache is a small plastic container with a few random coins. Bring your own pen and stay out of the orange stuff. The cache is NOT under the bridge.

Congratulations to beans&franks: First to Find!
