4 September 2016 A Path Less Traveled

We used the long holiday weekend as an opportunity to travel to Elk County and hunt a few lightly visited caches. They were so lightly visit that a couple had not been found in over 2 years. We spotted a few butterfly and some orchid leaves on the way. An artesian well was the subject of a few of the cache titles. We visited the well on the way there and back.

Rocks along the way.

It was over two years since these were found. We were happy to be their first visitors in a long time.

The artesian well had a casing the extended six to eight inches above the ground. The flow was slow but steady enough to leave the surrounding rocks wet and the ground quite muddy.
