Geocache Description:

This is the 4th in a series of 4 caches along the Abandoned PA Turnpike east of Breezewood.

The cache is located just east of Breezewood along the old route of the PA Turnpike. The 10 mile section of roadbed has been turned into a bike trail. This trail contains 2 old roadway tunnels that that you may bike thru (you will need bike lights).

Warning-My GPS was acting up when I placed the cache. Please refere to he hint if you have problems with the cordinates.

This is the hardest cache in this series to find, and will be harder to locate than PA Turnpike Cache #2

Note: The cache is NOT in the tunnel, or any of the buildings at the end of the tunnel. Please make sure to re-hide the cache well, as the spot is sometimes a hangout of local kids.

Site Access ~ Walking
If you are not biking here is the best ways to access the area:
1- If you are just doing this and or caches #1 or #2
Park at Oregon Road And Oregon Camp:
40* 03.0582
-78* 08.9484
Follow the road in and STAY TO THE ROAD, DO NOT FOLLOW THE SIGNS FOR "TUNNEL TRAIL" The road will take you right up to the old turnpike, from there continue uphill to the tunnel.
2- Park at the end of the un-named road loacated at:
40* 02.9748
-78* 05.93699
Go past the yellow barricade which will take you to the area of cache #3. From there you can follow the old turnpike uphill to caches #3 & #4, then walk thru the tunnel to get to #1. This is less overall walking then parking at the other end.

Site Access ~ Biking
There has been some changes in access to the site. Please refer to: (visit link)
for the most up to date information on trail access. This cache is at the western end of the bike trail, and currently only the western trailhead is open for access. There are other ways to access the site, but that is up to you to figure out :-).
