Patapsco State Park
This was called Toy Cache originally placed by Bowling Buddies in
April, 2002. A nice hike down to the river level. The trail is
steep, but well marked and can be slippery in wet weather. The
cache location is right behind the original track right-of-way for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, circa 1835. At this time the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad did not have the tunnel building
knowledge to bore thru solid rock, so they went around this outcrop
at just where the present Rt 40 bridge is. If you hike back
southwest towards the present track bed, you will see long granite
blocks in the ground where iron strap rail was fastened. Engines
were small back then, and railroad cars were also short in length
so this was a easy route for the trains to traverse. Cache is a
large clear container. Beware of muggles near the path.
