Geocache Description:


THIS LITTLE GUY WILL EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING SO WATCH YOUR FINGERS......HE REALLY LIKES BISONS....Came across a cache series this past summer down in Lancaster area.....Once I got the feel for the caches,the hints and what I was looking for, it turned out to be a fun caching series.....The West Penn Trail is a rails-to-trails conversion which mostly follows the Conemaugh River. It was an active railroad line until the 1970s when the Penn-Central Railway Co. abandoned it. You'll pick up the trail in Saltsburg, making your way east. One of the first things you'll learn is that the old canal paralleled the railroad and river. You'll see plenty of sites relating to the old canal including lock sites, tunnel sites, and culverts scattered along the 17 mile total length of the trail ......Follow beyond this section thru the GameLands,Conemaugh Dam Recreation Area and on to the Stone Arch Bridges of the Conemaugh River Lake.........This section is about 3 1/2 miles ....Beautiful sections of cut stone walls.....Nice leasurely bike ride or walk as you cache this section...All caches are on or fairly close to trail.....B.Y.O.P......Bring the kids.....Have a fun time...Just a reminder wear your orange during hunting season....careful of ticks..Parking coords,SaltsburgTrailhead parking==N40*28.888 W079* 26.856---End of Salt St.,Saltsburg ........Also mid trail parking at White Station N40* 28.831- W079* 25.481
