Geocache Description:

This is a two-part, multi-cache in a little-used section of the Allegheny National Forest. The terrain is basically flat, but is muddy year-round in spots. The area near the final cache can be very wet after a rain. Parking area is on Dunns Eddy Road. There are spaces for about six cars

We made this second hide after all the great response to the first Irvine Flats cache. The Newbold Estate, also known as Irvine Flats, is near property we own in the area. It is a favorite walk for the locals, but sees little traffic otherwise. We wanted to share this gem with other geocachers. We are at our property frequently and will be able to check any problems with the cache. This cache uses only the old railroad grade that passes through the forest. This National Forest Service area is listed by the Audubon Society as a birding hot spot. It also features great spring to fall viewing of many native wildflowers. The cache is about 1 mile from the parking area. The entire loop is about 2 miles. The cache should be available for four seasons. If you are traveling south on Dunns Eddy Road, the first parking area you reach is the parking area for Anders Run. It is NOT the parking area for this cache. The closest parking area is just south of a stone house on the east side of the road. Be careful of bears in non-daylight hours. The first find is a 35mm film holder. The final part of the cache is a Tupperware container. No digging is allowed or required for this cache. While on Dunns Eddy stop and visit Anders Run (1/2 N of Irvine Flats). It is a pleasant hike with only a few visitors.
