Little Crossings Traditional Geocache
FrancisScottKey: ### Geocache Owner Action Needed ###
It appears this listing is indicating issues needing addressed by the CO. The recent logs may contain more details about what sort of issues are evident.
Please visit the container quickly when any logs indicate there is a problem. If you're unable to visit the geocache promptly, you'll need to disable the listing. I have disabled this listing for you at this time.
What to do next?
- Post pertinent information with the 'Write Note' log type asap.
(If you're encountering unusual circumstances for ongoing issues, post a note every 30 days so the listing doesn't appear abandoned)
- Visit the container and provide maintenance as needed.
- Update the posted coordinates (if necessary) making sure they are accurate.
- Confirm the geocache's trackable inventory.
- After the geocache is up to the standard, then post an Owner Maintenance log.
- Lastly, enable your geocache.
If you don't want to maintain the geocache any longer, you can
- Find someone to take ownership of your geocache. You'll need to adopt the listing to them.
- You can archive the listing. This re opens the area for new geocaches. Don't forget to remove any remnants of your geocache.
If no intervention from the CO is evident within 30 days from today's date, the listing will fall into archival status.

This cache shares its name with the name given to this river by George Washington when he crossed on June 19, 1755, with General Edward Braddock on the ill-fated expediton to Fort Duquesne(Pittsburgh). Small cache only room for a log. Bring your own pencil/pen.
"The construction of the beautiful stone Castleman’s River Bridge (now known as Casselman) was supervised in 1813 by David Shriver, Jr., Superintendent of the “Cumberland Road”, then the National Road. This 80 foot span was the largest stone arch in America at the time. It was used continuously from 1813 to 1933", and for many years following 1933 even after the opening of the current US Route 40. "A flood of wagons, stagecoaches, livestock and foot travelers wore the stone bed down by 1830. A new nine inch “macadamized” layer of stone kept the old bridge open for another 120 years."
It was reopened in the summer of 2008 for horse and buggy traffic while the US 40 bridge was being repaired.
Acarina recalls the excitement of going over the bridge in an automobile as a child. It was a free thrill ride and the driver could accentuate the thrill by controlling the acceleration at the top.
From this location one can see two additional bridges spanning the Casselman River, a real tribute to the transportation industry. “While advances in transportation technology have given us the interstate system, this path through the Alleghenies hasn’t changed in over three centuries.”
(Quotes from historic signs near the cache.)
Permission to place this cache was granted by Mike Gregory, manager of New Germany and Casselman Bridge State Parks.
