Mr Ed venture Cache (GCWBFK) was once lost and now has been found. His long time friend "Miss Candice B. DePlace" has now gone astray. Located in the area of Hinckston Run Dam, she sits patiently, waiting to be located just as her close friend had.

Hinckston Run is a high-gradient stream originating in the mountainous terrain along Route 22 in Jackson Township. It flows 10.6 miles to the Johnstown neighborhood of Minersville, where it enters the main stem of the Conemaugh River. Its course is interrupted by Hinckston Run Dam, a large reservoir owned and operated by the Cambria Somerset Authority. The dam has an abundant variety of fish and wildlife that provides excitement to all ages. About a 2-mile section immediately upstream of the dam is stocked in-season by the Fish & Boat Commission.

The dam and stream are accessible by several township roads, but I would suggest to take Hinckston Run Road off of route 271 in East Taylor Township as your starting access point.

REMINDER: The bridge to cross over the breast of the dam from waterfall Road in Middle Taylor Township, has been closed and no vehicle access is permitted.

"Please abide by all posted regulations, Please stay off the breast area of the dam You will be looking for a well stocked and well hidden 30 cal. Ammo can.

I have included a Very nice FTF Prize for that first lucky cacher.
