Mc Nally Bridge Multi-Cache
dave bear: The apperance of a no tresspassing sign has made it necessary to move the first stage further than 528 ft. to assure safe parking. Will repost using the new first stage.

This cache is a three-part cache. The first part is by a parking area which is right across the road. (Next to the first stage you will see a trail heading down over the hillside.)This best accessed by going through Paint. Take Main St. and then Cottage Lane. Or taking the longer way it can be accessed taking the Carpenter Park Road, which is found about a quarter mile north of Conemaugh Township School on Route 403.Carpenter Park road will take you to the Stonycreek River. It has some beautiful waterfalls and in the 1860s through 1900s attracted a Pittsburgh-based group of artists called the Scalp Level Painters headed by George Hetzel. Park and recreation development in the Canyon is being explored, including the possibility of redeveloping a site that the City of Johnstown operated in the 1930s known as Carpenter's Park and extending the Jim Mayer Trail out from Johnstown. The second part of the cache is a fairly straightforward hike. You might get your feet wet as run off from the road above drains across the trail after rain. Feel free to look around the area, as it contains several local swimming holes, although swimming at these holes is not recommended as it can be dangerous. No need to deviate from the path. At the bridge you will find stage two..no need to actually walk on the bridge. This being Pennsylvania it would be a good idea to wear orange during hunting season.(most of the Year!) Please avoid parking on the road. The idea is the journey, not how fast you can find the cache! This cache shows off two wonders of man: the McNally Bridge and the mountain at the end of the cache.
