FISH'S SPAWN By MrMom, MrsMom and Goo. 27 May, 2002
N43*03.989 W079*00.272 This cache is part of our Upper Niagara River Series; the peaceful side of The Niagara. The series begins with "ERIE'S END" ( upstream ) followed by "FISH'S SPAWN" and ends with "THE OTHER SISTER." The entire Upper Niagara Series follows clear and level paths and is well suited for the family. For a challenge, please visit our Lower Niagara River Gorge Series. The lower series begins at the Northern end of the river ( downstream ) with "RAPID ART" followed by "A DEVIL OF A HIKE" and ends with "RAW POWER!" Don't forget your camera. All caches take you through Western New York's most picturesque river and lake views. My seven year old daughter completed all hikes with minimal complaints. All readings were taken with a Garmin 176c and a Garmin III. Averaged accuracy's are better than 30 feet. The cache is located within Buckhorn State Park in Grand Island NY off of East River Road. This area is a major spawning site for numerous fish species. Sections of the park have undergone wetland restoration. For the bird watchers, this is Niagara's finest. For a memorable show, start your trip 1.5 hours before sunset. Park and start at N43*03.548 W078*58.174. Stay on the main trail which heads to the Northwest. The trails are flat, for the most part stay dry and can be ridden by bicycle. Round trip is under 4 miles. The peaceful side of The Mighty Niagara awaits you. The original contents of this cache include: Calculator 2-pack chap stick Travel sewing kit Garden/plant stake Peanut butter crackers Practice golf balls and tees Bird glider Mini dominos Deck of cards Travel mug |

What a great walk..we seen 8 deer, some geese and ducks. Took us a bit but we found it after a THOROUGH search. Was a bit hestiant to wander to the location, but found it to be sturdy ground.

Open Log: Personal use only Beautiful day for a bike ride, so I brought it on up to the park and made the very scenic ride out to the point. Had to wait out a couple of muggle bicyclists, and once they were gone, I quickly grabbed and began the trek back. Thanks for bringing me out here, some fantastic views available.

Open Log: Personal use only Finally got a chance to take the 3.7 mile round trip to this one with Mrs. Urkel and Urkelette tied up at an annoying baby shower. I'm thinking my previous longest trek for a smiley was 2.6 miles near Scranton, Pa., but of course that involved a 800 ft. elevation gain. Speaking of smiley's, if the cache owner doesn't start logging his, I'm going to pass him pretty damn soon here So I got near the cache, only to hear gunshots nearby What's up with that? Turned out to be a couple of knuckleheads duck hunting, just off the little Island a couple of hundred feet from the cache. Most likely very illegal, but who's going to catch them? Not much of a challenge either, as the ducks were all just sitting in the water. Needless to say, I grabbed the cache, which is an easy find as advertised, quickly signed the log, TNLN, and beat feet out of there. Couldn't find the BM Varsgeld mentioned in the snow, so I grabbed the navigation light at the end of the breakwall. Thanks Mr. Mom, great job. | |

Open Log: Personal use only Our 9th and last cache of the day. After logging approximately 18 miles of walking and the lateness of the day, we decided it was time to head home when we finished this one. Found it at around 8:15 pm. Took nothing, left nothing. Great view, especially of NF after sun was down. We raced back to the car to avoid too much walking in the dark. Thanks for a great day.
