Geocache Description:

Hidden 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.

Rikers Island is New York City's main jail complex. It sits in the East River between Queens and the mainland Bronx, adjacent to the runways of LaGuardia Airport. The island itself is part of the borough of the Bronx. The island is thought to be named after Abraham Rycken, a Dutch settler who moved to Long Island in 1638 and whose descendants owned Rikers Island until 1884, when it was sold to the city for $180,000. It has been used as a jail ever since. This one is well known to all you Law and Order fans!

You are looking for a camo'd pill bottle. BYOP. Please exercise stealth. Enjoy!

Congrats to Jengli10 for the FTF!
