Fourth Tag 3

I got off this exit of the PA Turnpike to get another county/Delorme grid and found out I was very close to the "famous" double tunnels of the turnpike. See the picture... there are two long and narrow mountain ridges that run along side each other, so the tunnels go through the first, see daylight for about 200 yards, and then go through the second tunnel. I wonder what geological events made these mountains shaped this way sit so close together???

I have a few geocaches on the Robbins Trail here in Danville, which is reported to be the oldest "Rail to Trail" in the country. The rail line that originally served here supported the steel business in the area that produced the first T-Rails in the country. See more details in my cache listings for GC1TB51 (The Oldest Rail to Trail) and GC3P5PZ (Home of the Danville T-Railers). The attached pictures show a old covered bridge that used to support the rail line that has been converted to a hiking/fishing bridge.

This cache was stored along Little Fishing Creek that flows in central PA and empties into the Susquehanna in Bloomsburg. Twice in the last 6 years (the latest was September 2011), this creek devastated the local area with flash flooding, and then the river backed up into town and flooded again. The attached pictures show a rather idyllic sceen, but then again, the waters are low because of the current drought.
