We spent a lot of time looking for the road and parking lot, including a side trip to the upper end of the State Park. By the time we got here, the 2-yr old was asleep in the car. My wife stayed with him and the 8-yr old and I went for a pleasant walk. The satellite coverage was not great in the woods, but my boy found it anyway. A really good hiding place. Took nothing, left nothing.

The 4 Musketeers and SueShe spent a day at the races. The vintage cars were the bomb! But it was HOT. Went for the cache after we left the track. Did a couple of turns on the back roads before we found the right one. Enjoyed the hike. took nothing, left nothing. Huckle Buckle Beanstalk.

1st of 4 finds today Found at 10:50 AM
Nice location and cache to start out the day. Really liked the wood and trail to the cache. Coordinates dead on with me and we walked right to the cache. Signed log, took/left nothing. We then went and saw the dam before leaving. Thanks for the nice hide.

Hey Blackpete we must have just missed you, saw your entry in the logbook today, we were there at 11:30AM. Took the Traveler you left with us and put him in Diane’s cache, Ithaca is Gorges. We loved the area you choose for the cache; the mature forest is always our favorite for a hike. Like everyone else we did not know about this part of the park. That is what makes our game so special, being introduced to so many beautiful places. Thank you, sorry we did not meet you on the trail, maybe next time.

YES!!!!!!!!! We are the 1st people to find this cache. Our first 1st! Found it at 4:50pm. I have been going to Watkins Glen all my life and have never explored this part of the park. Thank you so much for putting it in such a great spot. Really loved the way you hid the ammo can. We took the Wood Train (coolest item I ever found) and the bubble pipe. We left a Koosh ball and a Feather pen. We also left the Geo Bug Icicle. This bug is suppose to go to Colorado, I hope it makes it! Had a great time finding this one.
