FireRef (Found it) GCT397 - Train Trestle Falls (2/3) by Captain Crash
BVFDJR, FFKid, Dr. Insanity, and I came to this one on the way back from the PA Turnpike series and camping near that cache. This was a find with a neat trip to get there. The nearby one on the piling is probably going to get done by us in the near future, as all of us have been taking rope rescue classes, and now know how to get to the top of it by that method. But back to this cache. The tunnel is falling apart, but really cool (and really wet, although we did avoid getting wet inside). It is interesting to see the various types of construction that went into putting this tunnel together. The bridge was pretty cool too. Some of our group wanted to climb down to the bottom and then come back up the hill, but decided against it - they did go a level or two down the girders. We got some really cool pictures. Then we headed to get the cache. Some of our group had problems going up and down the hill to get to the cache itself, but actually, I wasn't one of them. The cache was in good shape and well stocked. We then checked out everything on the way back and headed home from here, considering we came down and camped in the PA Turnpike series area, did that one yesterday, and then came here on the way home.
