This cache is placed at the junction of the Hocking Canal; the Carbon Hill branch of the Hocking Valley Railroad; the Sunday Creek Traction Railroad; and the Old Brick Highway between Nelsonville and Athens Ohio. The Old Brick Highway is now Elmrock Road (York Township 36) and passes the Famous Elmrock a mile or so east of the cache site.
Take Canal Street east out of Nelsonville or follow US33 East of Nelsonville to Elmrock Road and make a sharp turn to the left after leaving the highway. The Hocking Canal was built through here in the mid 1840’s and abandoned in the 1880’s. The Carbon Hill branch was built in the 1860-70’s and abandoned in the 1980’s. The Sunday Creek Traction Railroad was built in the 1890’s and abandoned in the 1930’s. The Old Brick Highway was paved with locally fired paving brick, for which Athens County was noted, in the 1880-90’s, was paved with asphalt in 2014 and is no longer the busy US highway it once was. It is possible to see the depression of the canal and fill of the railroad by looking closely at the ground to the west and north of the cache site.
