Geocache Description:

In Memory of the Fredericktown Train Bridge. This is a 4 mile hike. It will take you approximately 1.5 - 2 hours.

(Updated parking Location 7-3-05)
Parking coords: N40 41.017 W80 31.895
You used to be able to park .75 miles from the cache but there was a major landslide and its now too dangerous to seek the cache from the north. Now you'll be parking appoximately 2 miles south of the cache. 95% of the trail to the cache is flat with no elevation change. When you get to the cache location you'll see why it gets a 3 terrain raiting. This trail runs along side the Little Beaver Creek. About 170 feet from the cache you'll have to cross a feeder stream. Most of the time its pretty dry and you won't get your feet wet. After a good rain you might have a hard time crossing it. Be prepared. You don't want to hike 2 miles and come up 170 feet shy of finding the cache.

This area was first introduced to me by a friend that use to repel from the bridge. I'm going off memeory and a good guess but I think the bridge was between 100 - 150 feet high before it was torn down. It's still an impressive sight to see not to mention an awesome trail.
