Geocache Description:

This cache replaces the original Austin Dam Memorial Park cache and it has been relocated to a new location. This cache is not about finding a metal box or adding one more point to your count, but rather to pay respect to an event in history that claimed many lives. Special thanks to the Austin Dam Memorial Association for allowing the placement of the cache on this site.

- The entrance of the Memorial Park is just North (0.85 miles) of the dam on Route 872 (N41°39.896 W078°05.346).

- After turning off Route 872, make the first left and drive about 9 (NINE) tenths of a mile to the upper-level parking area. Please note that there is no winter maintenance on the park's road, and even less in summer!

- After finding the cache, please take time to visit the "dam" area (sorry, couldn't resist). If your vehicle has high clearance, you may want to drive down to the lower-level parking area to get a closer look at the ruins. Enjoy!
