This cache is part of a six cache series. It highlights locations along the Union Canal in the Union Water Works area in Lebanon County. The Union Canal passed through Water Works. The local church and fire company use Water Works in their name. The canal cuts through the fields in the area. Locks were used to raise and lower the canal boats as they made their way along the canal. The Union Canal Tunnel is nearby. It was an engineering feat of the day. It was the summit of the canal. The summit leaked badly. A dam was constructed at the Union Water Works which supplied water to the summit. Water was pumped from the Water Works through aqueduct to the summit to maintain water levels. As you drive and hike though Lebanon County you can see remains of the canal era. I grew up in the Water Works area. The caches in this series take you near to the places where we played as children. If you look around you can see remains of the canal days in the locks and tow paths that are found in the farmers' fields that boarder the canal. All of these caches are found along the road. There is no need to go onto private property. All the caches are in guard rails. If you do not find it in a guard rail, DO NOT ENTER PRIVATE PROPERTY!!. All land near the caches is posted. Please respect these postings.
Walk a few feet to the near by bridge and you can see a Lock of the Union Canal.
The additional coords take you to another near by Lock that can be view from the road.
