 If you are here...you are red hot!

 Watch for this fellow! I paid him to guard my cach

Was a nice easy find which is what I needed to fit into a lunchtime walk. Always glad not too have to bushwhack too much at this park. The log had several entries for people who stumbled upon this cache. One from a benchmarker, multiples from orienteering people and one just stumbled onto it. Cache is still in good shape and hidden according to the clue. Thanks for the fun!

Since my usual trails are closed for hunting season (bleh) I had hoped to spend the day at Black Creek Park, walking and caching and taking pictures of birdies. My job had another set of plans for me, though, and I didn't get out as early as I'dhoped. I went after this cache right away and headed south to check out the multi's in another section - but I ran out of daylight and this was my sole cache of the day. No pictures, either, although I did see a gorgeous huge pileated woodpecker which was a first for me! Oh, yeah, the cache - found it easily enough and everything's in good shape. It's a pleasure to find a venerable cache such as this one in such fine shape. I took a popper thingy for safety's sake and left a special Disney promo item that I've been saving for a worthy cache. Thanks for giving me a chance to log a find despite the time constraints!

13th of 13 today.

I've been stressed out at work lately, and I finally had a chance to take some time off after working late hours & weekends.

I printed out this listing from the geocaching.come website (although it's listed as archived there.) I thought I checked this site as well for it, but I guess I didn't. Which is why I was surprised there were a number of recent logs on this cache, including one yesterday.

Lately I've been looking for archived caches when I go out for a day of caching because often they are archived "for personal reasons" (like this one), archived because the owner thought it was missing and was too lazy to check it (when it was still there), or just exited the sport and retired all their caches.

It's fun to find an archived cache, although in this case it was only archived on one site.

Cache is in fine shape, and was easy to find once I was on the proper side of the trail.

Thanks for the hide!

This was our fifth find today. I thought it was on the otherside of the park by the creek. Guess I better stop thinking. Smiley found this right off. Shes getting good. The cache was in good shape Thanks for the hide.

First cache find !!
Was here 2 days ago and DNF, after bushwhacking .3 miles at dusk. Found the USGS survey marker, and wasn't sure if that was the cache or not.

Came back tonight with family & found it in no time. Surprising how easy it is when you come at it from the right direction !!

Strange: I headed for this NaviCache exclusive because the postings below indicated I'd missed this one over the years, yet as I dodged the raindrops in Black Creek Park, the route sure looked familiar. There was a freshly broken branch at the trail turnoff and a few yards in, I knew I had been here before. The ammo box seems to have moved a little deeper off the trail and my Garmin III+ read 90 feet. Look at my pic: there's a tree on the left side of the cache, just above my GPS. Look at Quinn's original pic: where's the tree? I opened the cache and saw that I had logged in exactly 4 years ago. Very strange.

Someone has put matches and explosive <i>"poppers"</i> in the cache. I didn't have any food to leave with them ;^)

What a great spot for a cache! Well off the main trail and well hidden. It was starting to rain so I wasn't able to make a complete log entry. I was holding off on this one because I wanted it for my 100th find but then I heard three cachers couldn't find it and thought it was missing, I had to search for it myself. It is #90 for me. Thanks Quinn! Took Skeleton Walker, Left Mini Flashlight, Signed BIG logbook.

Was in the area for a NYGO Board meeting and just HAD to try one of the cache offerings from the famous Quinn! Took the steep climb up the sledding hill, and found the cache easily after avoiding a group of teenagers in the area. Did a little clean-up on the cache by removing some old wrappers from previous swag and a couple inappropriate items, and replaced the ziplock bag for the logbook, Dropped in a few trade items to top the can back off and tucked it back in it's hiding spot.
Thanks for a pleasant afternoon hike.

As I was climbing a long hill I knew that there was no way Quinn had come this way-was afraid that once again I had taken the long way. I found the cache after all with no problem. Time for Quinn to place another one for his now 9 year old daughter-thanks.

Whew! This one WAS an adventure. Headed for this one after another one in the park. no problem finding it. Signed the log book. Took a bicentennial quarter and left a mini flashlight.

We decided to try geocaching as a family activity. We picked this one to try first since we are familiar with the park, and it was named for a child (so, how hard can it be?). We decided the last 7 feet are the hardest, but after taking our eyes off the gps and looking around, it didn't take long to find the box. Thanks for a fun introduction to this great sport.

Found this one at about 3:45 pm. The cache is in good shape, but could use a new bag for the log. I didn't have any extras on me. You will probably be heading out there anyway. Took nothing... left a QSL. Nice hide for a beginner. Been awhile since anyone logged in. Newbies... make this one of your first.

I found this one pretty easily enough with just the coords since I left the printout in the truck.

I must have just missed the cub scouts ahead of me.

Took nothing, left two pairs of gloves.

After this I tried to go directly Hawthorne....what a mistake! :>(

Thanks for a fun hide Quinn!

Located no problem on 10/14 as the sun was beginning to set.
The M&M dude and camera are no longer in cache. Enjoyed the
location.

Nice walk to the cache. Must use this park for cross country events...sent some lost runners back on the right path. Took nothing; left nothing.
Thanks for the hide.

We found this the same day as Hawthorne. The combination made for a nice walk in the park.

got a little muddy doing this one ,we had lots of fun anyway took cassett tape and baseballcard left ceramic bear and a george dollar and a poem......thanks fourpack

Well, found it with no problem, thanks to the gps, led us right to it. Thanks Quinn!!! Takes a while to get used to this new gps! Going great, though.

We signed the log, and took the white sweatshirt ( Little guy was cold!) and left a 1960 San Fran Giants baseball card in great condition!

Onward to the next one!!

The Hughes Family
(upinyachit)

With a housefull of grandkids on an Easter candy sugar high, decided to take the four oldest (6 to 11) and their dads on an after dinner cache hunt to burn off some energy. Set a goto on the MAP330 and let Andrew, the 11 year old lead the way. Found the cache easily, swapped three gold dollars for a golf ball, a CD, and a piece of barbed wire; I also took traveller Bernie to go in my next cache. The trip up the hill and back diminished my energy level significantly, but had no noticeable effect on the kids. Back home for coffee and dessert, and more jelly beans and Peeps for the kids (and more bouncing off the walls).

By the way, there is a USGS Survey Marker in the area, about 20 feet from the cache, if you're after those as well.

Headed out to this park to find another cache and realized there was more than one to hunt for. Found this one first. Didn't take Bernie since we don't plan on heading West of Rochester in the near future. Took nothing, left nothing.

Morgan and Dad,
This is our 3rd cache of the day. You did an excellent job hiding the box. I brought my brother-in-law and niece with me. Santa brought Mark a GPS for Christmas and Samantha is home from college. We signed the log, took Certs, and left Groucho glasses.

Thanx for a nice cache,
Mark, Samantha, and Kayaker

Hey! This was our second cache of the day. We found the No Exit cache then left to find this and the Down in the Dumps cache.

We arrived at the Black creek Park to be greeted by many happy sledders. We were so amazed at this (as there was only and inch or 2 of snow we don't sled unless there is at least 10 of snow and in the Buffalo area this seems to happen often) that we started our walk at the top of this hill. We didn't have to walk in far before Fearless told us to turn. Eversure darted in and within 45 seconds yelled I found it!. The cache was in great shape and I was glad for a place to sit and write in the log book. The cache was in fine shape. We took a quarter, alien key chain and a roll of film. The box had room for more items and my backpack was rather heavy so we left a new large white swetshirt, a mini robot dog and a Backstreet boys CD.

FOUND ON JUNE 28, 2001

This was a nice walk, not much more than a mile from home in a very familiar area. Easily found, no bushwhacking needed. Some poison ivy near the cache, but avoidable if you're aware of it.

Clear, crisp morning - mid 40's - 9:30 AM. My 6 yr old was the first to find the cache after a little hint from mom. Enjoyed the walk up the hill and down the path. Took a crossword puzzle book and left some super balls. No single use camera so we took some shots of our own. Baby fell asleep in the back pack on the way back to the parking lot. Thanks for a good one.

I removed the camera from the cache today as it was full. Pleae continue to check the navicache.com website for those pictures to be added to the picture section.

This was our first geocaching adventure as a group. I am a den leader for Den 11, Pack 402 from Chili, New York. We happen to find your cache while trying to find the No Exit cache. Once we started out (and walked quite a ways) we decided to start looking for your cache. It was pretty easy to find & the kids had a blast. They had a fun time trying to find the cache once we got to the hiding area.
Looking forward to finding other caches in the area! Keep an eye out for Den 11, Pack 402s cache! We've decided to create & hide our own cache as a Den project! BTW, it looks like we took the last picture on the one-time use camera!

Pretty easy. I jogged most of the way from the parking lot to the cache. I search for the cache on the spur of the moment so didn't have any trinkets with me so I didn't take anything either. I signed the log book. The camera in the cache is at the end of the roll so if you want to get it developed...

Todays short tour hit Morgan's Adventure and Isabel's 1&2 in that order. Being Fathers Day, my daughter and son-in-law offered to join me on this cache hunt. Little did they know that my intentions were to use them to distract the skeeters as I signed the log books. In typical caching fashion we followed the GPS arrow straight to the cache. This route was an initiation for my guest to the excitment of forging their way through some of the best dense brush of the area. Soon mosquitos caught wind of the sweat and fresh blood from the scratches. While Road Kill was eager to find the cache, they were very delighted just to find a path. Once on the path they were off like bloodhounds. Soon I heard their cry: Huckle-Buckle-Bean-Stalk.
Took a picture, Took a compass, and left a sleeve of golf balls.

Well we have set our sites on hunts that take us to new places.. And this one was a great one. We met a few friends along the path and Aj was the one to pull the Cache from hiding..

Nice way to spend Memorial day. Thanks for the adventure. Delta Team

After visiting cache on 23 APR 05, I thought the spot looked familiar, tho the hiding spot seems to have moved slightly deeper off the trail. Log book indicates I was here 4 years ago yesterday, took nothing and left a WheresGeorge.com $20 bill for tracking.
