Logs for Kordite
06-Sep-03
After logging the Cedar Creek Gorge cache (GC36E7) in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, I decided to climb the hill because I knew there was an aerodrome on the top. I cut across a field at the top and found the Mon Valley Radio Control Airfield (although the field is not in the Monongahelia River Valley but in the Youghiogheny River Valley).
The facilities have a two car garage storage area, restroom and pavillion in addition to the field itself. The sign indicates it has been here for 40 years.
The people I met were very friendly, appreciative that I had climbed the hill to meet them and interested in what had brought me to the area in the first place (bicycling and geocaching). I had stumbled upon their annual picnic and they insisted that I join them for lunch.
Another interesting thing about this adventure is that a month earlier I was at another Cedar Creek cache, this one on Long Island, New York (GCED52). This cache is also near to an RC aerodome.
