Just stopped by here. Will post video at http://d-blog-roadtrip.blogspot.com/ soon.
The Spring is in a little stone enclave on the north side of the road. It's right next to a little, abandoned, stone shack. There are a lot of plastic posts next to drains along the road, so they can distract you.

If you're driving West (a beautiful drive from I-80 -> PA 15-S to 45W) the spring is on your right side, and if you see Smoky The Bear, you've gone just a wee bit too far.

I had a little sip from the spring and feel a little funny. . .or it could be in my head. I stopped for dinner at a restaurant (Elk Creek Cafe) in Millheim, about 20 minutes farther west, and the bartender told me she had just spoken with the guy who tested the water. He said it was some of the cleanest around, so that's what I know.

I'll let you know if I start hurling in the night, but this is my first Spring visit, and I'm really, really excited! Many more to come. . .will post on the blog above if you're all interested. Enjoy!
