Geocache Description:

Small geocache hidden on a road less traveled in Peru, IN.


The cache will bring you to a fairly quiet stretch of road that crosses Prairie Ditch.  From this spot, looking west into the bush is where the old Nickle Plate Railroad (and future trail) crosses the ditch.  From satellite images it looks as if the the bridge has collapsed since it's abandonment.

Looking southwest is where the Nickle Plate Railroad had a small rail yard.

To the south of this spot you can faintly see where a spur of the railroad crossed the road long ago.

Finding the cache should be fairly routine, but I just hope to bring people to an area that they may not have been to before, and give them an idea of what used to be in this area.
