Geocache Description:


The cache is in the vicinity of "Creek Falls", a waterfall and swimming hole located in an area the locals call "Crick Hills". The easiest way to get to Creek Falls and the cache is to follow an unmarked gravel road along Jacobs Creek from the Chaintown bridge which is about 4 miles west of Scottdale, Pennsylvania. I am unable to provide driving directions as it the norm for me to get lost each and every time I go there. Currently, ordinary passenger cars can drive for about 0.7 miles on the aforementioned gravel road to a gate for a rifle range. Park at the gate and hoof it from there. The road beyond this point is the domain of off-road vehicles and pedestrians with very muddy feet. Have Fun!

WARNING: Expect to get a little wet. It will be necessary to cross the creek to get to the cache. There is a ford about halfway down the jeep trail where the water will normally be less than a foot deep. Do not attempt to cross if the water is high. It might be possible to avoid the water and mud by walking the railroad and crossing on the trestles but this is trespassing and could be very dangerous. Don’t do it!
