The Little Falls Trail geocache was #10 for me and without a doubt the best yet. This is one great geocaching experience. Well hidden, dry, and protected with beautiful scenery, especially along the East Branch of Wallenpaupack Creek. The trail is just a foot or so from the falls and there are large rocks where you can sit and listen to the water. Some trails were very mushy due to the recent rains. In fact, the bridge over the creek was washed out completely and as a result some fancy footwork was needed to find an alternate path to get back on the trail.
In spite of having the Magellan SporTrak Color and a trail map, we made a wrong turn on the way back. We came to an intersection that was a bit confusing and the trail marker did not agree with the trail map. The GPS always point to the right place, of course, but the trails meander so much, it is not always obvious which way to go — in some cases until you have hiked a long way. In this case a very long way. It was getting dark in the woods and we were really tired after hiking for miles. We came to a campsite with paved roads. It was just a half mile to where the Harley was parked. Unfortunately, it was a half mile across a lake! A car came by and offered us a ride. We must have looked hopeless. The car ride seemed like ten miles long. Had it not been for this kind soul, it would have been a very late evening. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
