Geocache Description:

Ammo can, contains log book and some usual cache stuff.

A friend told me about this area (this is also the name she called it), just knew I had to put a cache here. Beautiful area, please plan to spend some time here. A walk around the area will bring you to two old railroad "bridges" going over this waterway that flows into the Allegheny. One is cut stone the other concrete. A walk up stream along the trail will bring you to some great cascading water falls and rock formations.

You can get here one of three ways. It is possible to drive here from Rt 322 through Rockland. However I recommend a vehicle with higher ground clearance (this is part of the reason I gave the terrain rating a 3), or you can hike in from the bike trail (short hike, less than 5 minutes, depending on which way you go around the bridges), or you can come from Emelton - take Kerr avenue to the top of the hill and right past the grave yard is Dotter Road on the left, which will take you all the way to Rockland.

Please be careful when moving about in the trees and rocks.

Note: tree cover is pretty heavy so please let me know if the co-ordinates need adjusted (this disclaimer for t-prints :o)). I took these co-ordinates from a bridge nearby where there was less tree cover (41*13.490, 079*43.318) just to help out until after the leaves fall from the trees.
