County: Ritchie
Nearest city: Ellenburo
Number of boxes: 1
Clues
Difficulty: Easy, but long hike
Location: A 3 mile hike from parking.
Elevation: Flat, but not completely smooth.
Materials: Bring your own stamp pad, log book, stamp.
Challenge: Walking the rail trail to find LB
This box is hidden in a remote area near the village of Ellenburo, WV.
There are multiple starting points from along the Great Bend Trail bikepath, anywhere from Parkersburg to Clarksburg. However, your goal is at the 32 mile marker on the path, so do the following:
To reach the point, park in downtown Cairo and take the rail trail East from marker 26 (at the iron bridge). See Walking the Dog in Cairo for directions to the departure point. Three miles on, you will pass through the first of three tunnels on the trail.
Alternative Directions: You could start at the McDonalds or Dairy Queen restaurant along Route 50 at Elensburo, and start walking eastward across the pedestrian overpass about 2 miles until you reach the 32 mile marker.
This very near the road crossing for "Camp Home". From the east side of the gate blocking the bikepath, begin pacing East 14 steps along the trail bed. Turn right, 90 degrees and rock wall.
What you seek is at the base of the nearest rock cravase, under the rock overhang just behind a small dead stump. Look for a bright green jar lid on a camo wrapped jar.
This is a second stamp in a series about walking the dog!
Please bring a stamp pad, towel for the jar, pen and your own stamp pad. The stamp is a manufactured foam stamp, not hand-carved. Please reseal all baggies and replace all materials into the hold, being careful not to let the jar be exposed.
