Looks like this one is missing. With two reports of "no finds" and conformation by someone who's been there. the cache is gone. I will work on a replacement as soon as I can.
The coordinates are not the final cache. They are the starting location for a very easy caching exercise designed to take you to two gorgeous views before delivering you to the hidden cache box. Step one: Go to the coordinates above and face in the direction that puts your back to the structure there, while looking at the river view. Step two: Travel down the trail to the left (about 200 feet) to another overlook at the point. Go out to the center of the stone wall at the point. Step three: Examine the wall to find stone carved graffiti that reads “DV-73-75”. Using the GPS, mark that spot. (don’t worry, satellite reception will be great). Step four: Take those readings, add 0.079 to the last three digits of the North latitude and add 0.056 to the last three digits of West longitude. You now have the coordinates to the actual hide. Step five: Be sure to take the time to enjoy the scenery first and then find the cache. Simple. Right? Grin… You’re looking for std. 50 cal. can in a somewhat open area. I only ask that you be careful in retrieving and replacing the cache as this is a popular area for other hikers and curious eyes. |

Open Log: Personal use only I enjoyed the challenge of this cache. When you reach the point were you have to change the coordinates, the view is breathtaking of the canyon. I left the guitar travel bug and retrieved the "I hope I win" travel bug. Took nothing, but left a small Deer antler - Paleoman52

Open Log: Personal use only #3 on the day with A46er and friends who are by now researching and purchasing GPS units of their own! Fun walk to the views and actually a little wandering was required as the signals became confused in the woods with a storm blowing by but we did find it (A46er). Traded tire gauge and two state quarters for tape measure. Thanks Roadkil, it was a fun alternative to swamping our canoes on the river this day.

Coyote couldn't make the trek but Hero is a good partner. It was a great Road Kill hide. Took yellow batman(?) left a dollar. We forgot to take tradeouts with us so the dollar is nothing special. Thanks for the fun. Gamma Kitt & Hero

I only had the coordinates for the 1'st part of this multi-part cache and no instructions. When I couldn't find the cache I gave and went on to find my "dash for the cache" cache. While searching for my cache, another group came by and stumbled on this one (they were searching for the same one as I). We all signed the log book and went on to find our original goal.

Open Log: Personal use only Finding the cache was a lot of fun. Nice walk, beautiful day and great scenery in Letchworth State Park. Loved the GPS exercises, which I need. It's always a thrill when you finally spot the cache. Thank you Road Kill for a very inventive and clever exercise in geocaching. A nice bonus to the Geocacher Gathering. Mother of Rocky

A real "Huckle-buckle-beanstalk" find, qued up behind two other groups from the cacher's picnic. Everyone waited for everyone else to find the cache, then opened it together. Forgot our swappin' stuff, so just signed the log. Thanks for a fun stroll on a nice fall day!

Mr Mom, The Goo and I teamed up with Hinge Thunder & Issaquah Puppy on this after dark. We were all camping here tonight and thought we'd beat the saturday rush. What fun it turned out to be. We found it around 10:40pm. Goo traded some butterfly clips for some altoid mints. Thanks again Roadkill!

Nice walk to a couple great views. We did not find the graffiti but still had no problem finding the cache without nailing that exact spot anyway. You did not fool me a third time like at Verda and with the note on the rock. I knew not to even look at your decoy. We continued to the campground where we spent a couple enjoyable hours with the cachers staying there. Thank you for the hide and nice views. We both enjoyed ourselves very much.
