Spring Water Trough off 220 near Laporte PA

I love all the unique things geocaching takes us to see.  This cache was called "Have A Drink On Me 2". 

The gps coords for this location  are - N 41° 26.380 W 076° 27.319 

“...the watering trough was put there for horses to use in the early 1900’s. Governor Pinchot created an act to modernize public roads in order to increase travel and help out smaller towns economically. The plan was to improve rural dirt roads focusing first on roads from county courthouses to the largest town near the courthouse. In the case of Sullivan County, that would be from LaPorte to Dushore. The plan would introduce macadam to roads that were currently dirt. Because the horses could slip on wet roads on an incline with the smoother surfaces, they laid the yellow bricks to add stability of footing for the horses. The bricks are actually a light tan, not a true yellow. The water trough has been there ever since. Although it is on private ground, it can be visited by anyone wishing to do so, but as always, please be respectful of the property. Some of the local cabins and campers in the area use the trough as a source for water.” - Melanie Norton, The Sullivan County Historical Society

The brick is sometimes referred to as the "yellow brick road" - but the color is actually a tan.

When you go to google maps and enter those coords, you don't see the road - but there is a brick road that loops off of 220 here.  

The road that loops around is brick - 

In 1891, the street commissioner was directed to examine the ditch near the water trough "below Judge Ingham's on Muncy Street".  This would have been a fair distance from "The Spring" to the north that still exists today.
