This cache will take you about an half mile into the woods at Grand Vue Park. Best to park by pool and walk down to the water treatment area and take the trail by brown water permit sign. Good luck.
Moundsville was and is the home of many coalminers. Parr's Run mine was down the hill from this cache. Moundsville is sitting above Alexander mine, which was 98 years old when it closed in 1981. At one time a miner could walk down the slope tunnel by the river behind Busy Beavers, go pass the shaft by first and Baker and then keep going under the town to McClean Run ( Slaughterhouse Hollow ) and climb the steps at the shaft there to daylight. This cache is dedicated yo my Dad, a long time miner who live his last years at the top of this hill, and to my sister, who took care of him.
