Geocache Description:

Quick find along the Eliza Furnace bike trail, also known to locals as the "Jail Trail". This cache is NOT accessible from the parkway (I-376).

The Eliza Furnace Trail is part of the Three Rivers Heritage system and connects the Greenfield neighborhood to downtown Pittsburgh. It also connects via the Hot Metal Bridge to the South side. It is a paved, handicap accessible trail suitable for walking, jogging, biking, and skating.

The Attica Correctional Facility is a supermax penitentiary in the town of Attica, New York. Attica was the site of a prison riot in 1971 which resulted in 39 deaths, of which 29 were convicts and ten were guards held hostage. David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), Mark David Chapman, and Willie Sutton have all spent time there.

You are looking for a magnet-less keyholder. BYOP. Please exercise stealth. Enjoy!
