Old Pumping Station - Reality Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Miss-Keeto: Geocaching used to be fun hobby for me. I've enjoyed reading/watching people find my caches and meeting some new friends through those caches. But due to recent issues I've made the decision to archive most of my Pennsylvania caches. There are some people that are taking this lighthearted hobby and turning it into and unwanted source of stress.

It will take me a while to get around and collect my containers. So if you decide to retrieve the cache for your use please notify me so I can cross that one off my list.

Geocache Description:


Brandonville Pumping Station Dam is on the Davis Run River in Schuylkill County and is used for recreation purposes. Construction was completed in 1900. It has a normal surface area of 4 acres.



Brandonville Pumping Station is of earthen construction. Its height is 21 feet with a length of 374 feet. Its capacity is 70 acre feet. Normal storage is 62 acre feet. It drains an area of 2.9 square miles.

I was saddened to see the condition of this area when we pulled in. Bottles thrown everywhere, run down buildings and broken benches. I can imagine a day when this was in great condition and locals would use it to make fun family memories. Please be careful pulling into the lot as again many bottles litter the area. If your in the CITOing mood this is a PERFECT location but wear gloves!

Please obey all warning signs the cache is not beyond them. Please replace wedged to keep it secure.
