Hogger's First Cache Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Hogger: The GEO-SAUSAGE was stolen! Confirmed tonight. It was there a few weeks ago during my maintenence.

It is now being ARCHIVED... and no longer available.

I sure wish I had the log as a souvenir, and would appreciate if anyone could come across it.

Now, for what was BEHIND the fence, which made this place so special:

But, upon a recent exploration just this evening, into the area, almost every sign has been removed, or destroyed. The area is being developed into a light-industry/shipping center. At least we have the photos!

Look for a NEW GeoSausage in a nicer location, (with historical significance in the very near future)..

Hogger out. :(

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

Easy access via regular city streets by car or foot, parking nearby, very easy terrain.

Following the waypoint to the cache, you will find yourself around the perimeter of a long-abandoned part of New York's aviation history.

The weedy green yonder that surrounds this cache was once a vibrant and vital resource for early aviators.

It was still in limited use up until as recently as the early 1980's. Once you find the cache, discreetly remove it, and find a seat nearby, or open it in your car.

The cache is halfway between being considered a micro and a traditional. I like to call it a "mini".

This super-rugged container has two sides which can be opened. To unlock it, merely turn the screw knobs counter-clockwise on either end until the container opens.

The initial cache contains: a logbook, two pens, a mini-first aid kit, a keychain lanyard, a WG$, a creepy rubber spider, and some pocket change, and one or two other little trinkets

Please be sure to sign the log, take something, leave something and be sure to seal and re-lock the container properly. (the reverse method of opening it).

And as always, please return it to it's hiding spot discreetly, as there are occasional passerby. All finders of this cache will receive a bonus of where they can find more information on this semi-historical site!

Don't read the hint!
