Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden in 2013 to celebrate the birth of our first grandchild.

June 2020 Update: That grandchild is almost 7 now, decided he wanted to try geocaching, and made this one his first find!

Purdys Ridge Preserve sits quietly and almost ignored between our home and his home, so it's an appropriate location for a celebratory cache.

Follow the yellow trail until you are about 400 feet from the cache, then bushwhack. (There is a way to do it that evades most of the barberry.) You may see some white blazes, along a few red/white markers that are a remnant of a previous blazing scheme. No worries: there is only one trail here. It's a 1-mile loop that will take you back to Old Schoolhouse.

Parking is on the north side of Old Schoolhouse Road in "downtown" Purdys, where a short flight of stairs leads into the woods. Please be sure not to block any driveways. Perhaps the biggest challenge for this cache is making a U-turn on Old Schoolhouse, a narrow street which dead ends near the preserve.

A virtual cigar to GRSchmid for the FTF.

There are two related caches hidden near the North Salem public library, about 10 minutes away. (Parking coordinates below):

While here, you also can look for Taxman417's Purdys Ridge Preserve Multi (GC49H05).
