 Cache Box in its hiding spot!

 Mature hardwoods on your way to the cache.

 One of the many views at the Park.

Catching up on some back logs that I failed to write back when I first found it. Car2 12/28/04

Found this one with a few problems. The coords led me to about 40 feet south of the actual hide. Everything was wet inside and I hid it better to help keep some of this rain water out.

Oops... didn't realize this cache was on both sites, so this log entry is a bit late.

The cache-site was a delightful location. The kids were overjoyed to find a partial deer skeleton on the way to the cache location. It was kind of cool, in a macabre way.

Anyway, nice cache, though the contents were SOAKED (in April, at least).

Took a CD and left a truck.

TFTC!

Nice view of the river. Found it with no problems.
Thanks for the hide.

This has to be the officially creepiest cache I have ever been to. Several factors came into play. I arrived at the parking coordinates at sunset (16:47 or thereabouts.) This is the first cache I ever done "alone" I guess everyone I know is finally sick of caching . So that was a factor as well, I did however bring my Newfoundland Dog , upon entering the woods there was a deer about 25ft in front of Tugs (my dog) and I, yelled "shoo, deer, shoo" and the deer just looked at me like I was crazy! I yelled a little louder "bang! bang!" thinking maybe that would scare it, no dice. So Tugs and I proceeded up the path, the deer ran off, but only about 20 ft back into the woods. As we walked further away I could hear more leaves rustling so I looked back... The deer was still about 20ft away from us as we approached the cache the deer was still following us... I quickly retrieved the cache (which is the biggest container I have ever seen) made my trade, logged in, and stamped the book. I wanted to take a photo of me and my dog with the cache box since it was our first solo flight, I was setting up the timer on the camera and Tugs jumped up.. The deer was closer then ever! So I forgot about the picture, returned the cache, and beat it out of there. Just by the trailhead I turned around for one last look at the deer which was, of course, still following us. I snapped a photo of the deer, but because it is dark you can only see it's eyes. Creepy, creepy, creepy! All of that aside I had a really good time, thanks for the cache!

This one was very tough. Searched for almost an hour but I finally found it. It was 34' from my 0 co-ord's on my Magellan 330. There was a load of hiding places back there but I'm starting to get good at this. Left Nothing Took Nothing. Nice Hide. 2nd time @ this park. Thought I was going to get Bulock's next but it was raining and getting very dark. I'll be back !

found cache. well hidden. kudos on a good hide job. nice size container.. took cd, left streamlight jr flashlight w. new batteries.

Nice hiding spot. Hard to get a good position as it was very cloudy and there were so many trees. We have figured out that the secret is not to give up, just keep coming at it from a different angle. Thank You!

good one the cache needs to be beef up a little took nothing left nothing.Forgot to log in .

Found with Sean (age 6). He's quite the geocacher, and glad to have a chance to look for one without his older cousins. They always seem to get there first. I'd never been to this park in all the years we've been in Rochester. Walked down to the dock afterwards.. it's quite impressive. Took a rubber snake (Sean was duly impressed), and left a "Beast".

Nice shady walk for a warm day - unfortunately, the local wildlife included two kids on ATVs barrelling through the park. Having avoided them, I found the cache easily and made my trades. The cache is pretty full!

Sorry - forgot to log that I found it!

I ventured out without my better half today - but I was joined by 3 of our 4 sons and our dog. It was a very hot day, but cooler in the shade of the woods. The GPS was all over the place at first - thought we needed new batteries, but in the end we just needed to be patient. Enjoyed the park - nice view of the river. Took a little wooden treasure box, left a puzzle ball (with directions). Thanks for the adventure.

This one was fun!! Of course the boys were with me, but I had to trick my soon to be 16 year old daughter into going.
I told her I was going to the mall but when she got in the truck and saw the GPS and camera, she knew she had been tricked. At first she was a little madd, but she got over it. On the way to the cache, she grabbed the gps from my hands like it was the phone!!!!! She punched in the coords like a trooper and lead us right to the cache.

She fell in love with the cute little bear when she opened the cache. We left a little wooden treasure box in exchange for the bear. We signed the log and left two GEORGE BILLS for tracking. I had a nice time with the kids today!

Happy Trails!

Found it at 7 pm. Like the container and the item next to it. Took nothing, left nothing.

Found the cache with the help of the Sunday hikers from the Genesee Valley chapter of the Adirondack Mountain Club. Nice hiding place. One young woman said that she had gotten a GPS for Christmas but had not yet learned to use it, but that geocaching looked like fun and she thought she might start. That's the idea!

We had just finished Rattlesnake Pete's cache, and made our way over here. Thought the rating was a little low. I would put it about 1.5/1.5 at least. I am glad I didn't come to look for the cache in my work clothes.

I took my daughter Morgan and her two cousins (Brandon and Michael) along for this hunt, it was Brandon and Mike's first!

I gave them each a gps to use so that nobody felt left out, let me tell you though...you do not!!! want to get in the way of three young kids on a treasure hunt.
Cache was placed in a great spot and we had an awsome time finding it, I think all the kids are hooked and look forward to going after many more. The day was perfect and there were quite a few people around walking the trails and taking in the scenes. Left quite a few carabeners and swapped out George bills.
Watch that snake!!!

The picture with this log is not of this cache but of another near by that we went after as well.
Thanks for the great time!

Today at 5:20 PM we made our first find! I purchased a GPS receiver today then found the Geocaching website. I went hunting right away and now can't wait for the next one! Thanks for the pen. I left a bobber in case any one wants to go fishing.

The size of the cache box i found very interesting. Seems to me more of us should put out some boxs that can contain larger cache items like this one. Nice placement also. Thanks for the mini adventure.

I had a great bunch of kids and adults for the demonstration today. You should have seen the kids faces when they found the box and we opened it up. Had a great hunt, a couple of the younger kids held the GPS and went in the direction it pointed them. I decided to leave the cache in its current location and left a couple of wheresgeorge bills in the log book. Still a lot of prizes, I will return again to put some more water bottles in the cache, they were a hot item.

I found your cache this morning at 9:17 during a brief thunder storm. Your cache is 0.3 mi from my front door. As usual I saw several deer and many species of birds. The dog tooth violets (trout lillies) are growing and I even spotted some trillium breaking through the ground. You chose a great hiding spot. I left my mark in the book and took nothing. A great cache.

Thanx,
Kayaker
