Geocache Description:


Ford Hazel Run to get to the beautiful little Alum Spring Park! And find
one of the geocaches in the Railroad Knutz series while you are there!!


Don't worry too much about this video of the Hazel Run ford at Alum Spring Park. As you can see, the gate is closed to stop the foolhardy from attempting to ford the stream when the water is too high, as it was this day after over 24 hours of continuous rain. Normally, the water is just a few inches high and most any vehicle can easily ford the stream to get to the park on the other side.

This park has quite a colorful history including being the site of several duels of honor. Also, the Virginia Central Railway passed along what is now the southern boundary of the park, and it is beside the old railbed above the parking area that you will find this cache.

The City of Fredericksburg has plans to open the former railway right-of-way as a public greenway for hiking and bicycling. For more information about the history of the park please see Alum Spring Park. For more information about the history of the Virginia Central Railway and plans for its re-development as a public greenway, please go to Virginia Central Railway Trail.

This cache is part of the Railroad Knutz series by the Cachew Knutz. For information about the series and the fabulous golden spike for the first to find the whole series, please check out the ultimate cache in the series, RR Knutz: The Golden Spike.
