This is my first cache experience so please feel free to contact me, I am open for suggestions and info. This cache is a must if you have already been to Cumberland Narrows placed by "vp & teaberry". This one is across the valley from thiers and when standing at mine you can see the entire area called "Lovers Leap" as well as west of the narrows and some views of the Pennsylvania mountains.
Once you drive to the end of Bishop Walsh Drive you will see a dirt road with a cable across it, Park and begin to walk the dirt road.This is a very short walk about 1/4 of a mile to the cach and overlook, as you come to the large blue water tower stay to the left of the fence and stay on that trail. You will see other trails and a very nice clearing of the wooded area. Stay on the trail you will be getting close to the cache. Once you find the overlook that is directly in front of the cache (approx 40 yards)you can hike around the other trails and see the great views.
Directions are as follows: take exit 40 off of Interstate 68 if traveling from Cumberland (east) take exit 40 and cross Vocke Road, that will be Braddocks Road.If traveling from Frostburg (west) take exit 40 and at that light go left and pass under the overpass make a right onto Braddocks Road. Travel Braddock Road approx. 2 miles and make a left onto Seton Drive. Go approx. 6/10 ths of a mileand make a right onto Bishop Walsh Driveyou will be on it for 1 mile and you will have to pass the school.The sign that says "Private Property" is for the sghool grounds not the road,you will go around the school and see the end of the road this is where you will park along the curb and start yout trek down the dirt road. The best time to search for this cache would be in the evenings or on weekends and holidays while school is not in progress.
The cache is a claer plastic container with a white lid, I placed it in a clear plastic bag as well.
Trade items include:rain poncho, Mike Piazza trading card, Las Vegas magnet, Canadian Quarter, shoe laces, and a trash bag for any trash you may have to take with you.there are (3) pencils please leave at least one.
