The Bedford Heritage Trail is in the first phase of planning for a larger trail to link the Bedford Springs Resort, Ft. Bedford Park, and Old Bedford Village with a pedestrian/bicycle oriented trail. Until the larger project is complete, the Bedford Heritage Trail invites visitors to explore historic buildings and places in the downtown Bedford area either by walking or biking a 1.3 mile loop. The trail will use the Ft. Bedford flag emblem (shown above) on signs and sidewalk markings for visitors to follow.
This cache is located just North of the historic Dunkle's Gulf Services gas station. This art deco-style service station was opened in 1933. The station's terra cotta tiles depict stylized geometric foliage and chevrons not seen in today's architecture. This is one of many historic sites built along the route 30 to attract travelers. You can also visit the giant Coffee Pot along Lincoln Highway to the West, and the giant Quarter along Lincoln Highway in Everett.
The cache location is along the edge of Fort Bedford Park. Please respect park hours and do not attempt this cache at night. The cache in on the park-side of the creek. Please do not tresspass onto the property on the other side of the creek. Thank you.
Also, be sure to replace the cache where you found it.
