| This cache is located in Oatka Creek Park in the town of Wheatland, near Scottsville, NY. It’s in a very pleasant openly wooded area near Oatka Creek, and the name is a result of our seeing no less than eight white-tail deer in the cache area as we walked in on a beautiful late November day. The cache is a gray .30 cal ammo can with green lettering and is placed about fifty feet off an open but not well defined trail through the woods; it’s concealed but is visible from a limited area. It may be difficult to find with snow cover in the winter. The cache contains some Matchbox cars, some Keokuk geodes (mineral specimens), Red Rose Tea ceramic figures, some gadgets and toys, and, of course, a log book to note your find. Please note, some possible shortcuts to the cache would cross private property, so please follow the trails within the park. |

Open Log: Personal use only This was one of the best hides in the park. It took me a couple of minutes to locate this one due to snow cover on the ground. I took nothing from the cache box and I signed the logbook. Thanks for the nice cache! This area is so interesting and I enjoyed exploring it. -Paleoman52-

Thought I would do some caching in a park I used to frequent alot for lunch. 1st find of the day...New Year. Was escorted to the cache by one of our white-tailed friends and someone stumbled upon me as I was signing the logbook. Took nothing; left nothing.

I found this one just as it was getting dark. I got lucky when I saw it since this was so well hidden.
It looked like I just missed the GPS Hikers again. They signed two log books just before me today.
Took nothing, left gloves.

1st of 4 finds today. 9:30 A.M. I felt like I was in a maze when I left the main trail onto a deer path. Vegitation was head high and almost closed off the path. Then it broke out into a nice path in the open woods. Some weed or flower must have been in bloom because the woods smelled just like a perfume store. Sats. were bouncing a bit and got me to 50 feet when I spotted it. But as I logged in, they setteled down to 4 feet. Took/left nothing. Thanks for the hide. Now onto I Heard It On The Grapevine.

Open Log: Personal use only Found at 1:15 PM, Memorial Day, 75 °F. A good hike, very pleasant day. This one could be tricky since the path circles around, but we stayed on the trail as close to the coordinates as possible. There were lots of potential hiding places, many of which we searched. Happened upon the cache by accident. Didn't get great satellite coverage with the trees, and I have an E-trex... Took a matchbox car and left a jacks game. Thanks for a good hike.

I parked at recommended spot, and Issaquah Puppy and I made our way to the cache. Got into the area of the cache, but it took a bit of searching to actually find the cache. Was the box painted gray specifically to hide it well in this terrain? Thanks!

Hey! This was the first of 3 caches that we did today. Yesterday I was pampered and beautified at a mother daughter retreat. As I drove home from there I thought to myself that the only thing that could make today better would be to go geocaching and that was what we did. This was a very nice walk in. The sun was shinning enough so that the the tops of the leaf carpet were dry. Such great knarly trees! Eversure found one that was laying horizontally and hollowed inside thought that it would be a great cache box place.... Interesting land formations. And wonderfull shadows that were created between the limbs that blocks the sun. Eversure sure zoomed in the minute that Fearless told him that the cache was within 50feet. He found it momentarily...GREAT SPOT... We took a Where's George bill to trade at a cache that we're planning to visit and a glostick. We left a wire puzzle and a Dragon. BTW it was 48 when we did this walk. Not bad for Feb. in WNY!

Open Log: Personal use only Another fantastic spot, Barrington. Got to the area early New Years day, & had the whole place to myself. No problems getting to the cache spot. Nice trails.Got some great pictures of Oatka Creek with the snowy woods as a backdrop. Also saw plenty of deer, but they wouldn't pose for any pics.:-) Cache is in great shape. Took a matchbox truck & left a pair of handwarmers & 2 wheresgeorge bills. Again, my gps had me at about 7 ft. when at the cache. Left my mark in the log book & replaced the cache in the same great location I found it. Thanks again for starting my year off in style.--Gimpy--

We had beautiful fresh snow as we started our quest for your cache. We could tell from the tracks in the snow that some snow cross-country skiers were just ahead. We turned off and the secondary trail to the cache area. Once there the several good hiding spots and snow cover made this the toughest find of the 4 we did today. Thank you, enjoyed the winter caching very much.
