Bridge on the NCR

The Northern Central Railroad Trail, officially known as The Torrey C. Brown Trail, covers nearly 20 miles in Maryland, stretching from Ashland Road in Hunt Valley to the Mason-Dixon Line. The trail is 10 feet wide with a stone dust surface. The most popular activities on the path are hiking, running, bicycle riding, and horseback riding. The trail also provides access for fishing and tubing along with the Gunpowder.

The NCR continues another 20 miles into Pennsylvania as the York County Heritage Trail, ending in the city of York, PA.   The surface changes somewhat in Pennsylvania.  The rails are still in place, and the trail occasionally crosses from one side of the tracks to the other.  The trail in PA features a cool tunnel and historic Hanover Junction.

This Geocache is placed along the NCR trail by Blue Mount Road. It is about a 20-minute walk to and a 5-minute bike ride. It is slightly off the path by one of the original train bridges. Please BYOP, although there is a pencil in the cache. I have filled it with some 3D printed parts and a ball. The cache is in a square tupperware container, which is half visible. The cache also has an official Geocache sticker.
