***DO NOT DO THIS CACHE AT NIGHT
Everytime I see a caboose, it brings happy memories of my childhood. My grandparents had a caboose as a summer home along the banks of the Susquehanna River in Pennsylvania. We would camp there, playing croquet , horseshoes, hide and seek and go fishing. Boy was the fishing great at that location! The caboose that once had a kitchen, bedroom and such, but after Hurricane Agnes, it became a muddy mess. was a muddy hollow of itself. The caboose had been flooded during the Agnes Hurricane in 1972, but to spite this, I would crawl and explore every inch. To get it to the vacation spot, my grandfather, moved the caboose over the old iron bridge that spanned over the river from Berwick to Nescopeck to this spot outside of Wapwollopen and the Nescopeck VFW boat dock. It was not exactly legal, and done without a PennDot permitt. Of course it was done under the cover of darkness. My grandparents also had a resturant across the road. It had burned down under suspicious circumstances. I would route through the rubble and find dishes and such. I love the sight of a caboose, all of those memories come back and put a smile on my face.
This caboose's location was placed by the previous owner of this location. He also loved cabooses and planned on using it as an office. However, the caboose doens't provide adequet protection against the extreme heat and cold tempuratures unless adequately insulated. So, he moved his office into the adjacent building.
How to find this cache. It's not very hard. You will NOT need to climb on the caboose, or under it. As a matter of fact, it is placed very nicely in a storage box IN FRONT side facing parking lot of the caboose, not behind. The current Vice President Joel Simmons has given me permission to place this cache here, he even provided this great location. This is a great spot, and as long as people abide by the "Don't Climb on, in, or under" this cache can stay!
