Small world, eh what? I have loved that place since my youth...which is many years in the past at this juncture. The book sounds fascinatin'; since you're done reading it, would you sell me your copy? Unless you want to keep it, of course. I could always buy one of my own. I plan to be at "Trail Days" next month, so if you're willing to sell it, and going there too...

A fellow in our town of Southern Pines here grew up near the
Wissahickon, complete with its mysterious history and cave of a German
mystic. He really loved it, and said the same thing as you. In fact,
he couldn't get it out of his head, and he eventually wrote a book set
there, a historical novel based on mostly facts about this mysterious
German, Kelpius.
I liked the book so much, I wrote a review of it for Amazon:

Thanks to our very own Jest Bill, (who I never knew
lived in Denver!), updated my CO trail doc to reflect
a bus stop that comes within ~1 mile of the trailhead.
Doing a quick google search, looks like others got
there the same way. The bus schedule confirms it too.
Obviously, being a public transit company, the routes
are subject to change.
Since I live in CO, was able to get a ride to the TH.
The bus leaves just before 6am. Nothing like an early
start. :D
