Geocache Description:


The Casselman River is a 56.5-mile-long (90.9 km) tributary of the Youghiogheny River in western Maryland and Pennsylvania in the United States.

The Casselman River rises in Garrett County atop the plateau of western Maryland as two branches, the south one east of Meadow Mountain, the north one farther west, between Meadow Mountain and Negro Mountain. The two branches flow northward combining just southwest of Grantsville, Maryland. The river then continues north into Pennsylvania, following a great arc across the Laurel Highlands of Somerset County, Pennsylvania to the appropriately named community of Confluence, where Laurel Hill Creek joins a few meters above the Youghiogheny River.

The river was named for Jacob Casselman/Castleman who had a hunting camp there long before the white settlers moved in. This from the only reference I've found regarding the name of the river: Welfley, Wm. H. (1906): History of Bedford and Somerset Counties Pennsylvania.

Earliest deeds in the area refer to it as the Castleman River but it was later changed to Casselman River which was the way the family spelled the name until most Americanized it to Castleman. A son of Ludwig Casselman, this Jacob (1728-1803) and family, along with several nephews and families, moved to what is now Nashville, TN around 1782 1786.

The micro cammo’d cache you seek is hidden where the Cassleman flows underneath, Parking is provided beside the GZ with an easy walk to the cache.
