This cache is located in Piseco,NY in the Adirondack Park. There is a
parking lot and a trailhead marked T-Lake, that leads to T-Lake lean-to
and T-Lake Falls. Take 8 north to old pesico rd (turn left at the fork
when you get to the lake) it's a dirt road and has summer camps and
hiking trails down it.
I recommend you stay overnight to get this cache.
There is a lean-to 3.56 miles from the trailhead where you will park.
From there it is about another 2 miles of unmaintained trail to get to the
falls. The trail to lean-to is a state maintained trail from the lean-to to the falls is where it is unmaintained. You can do this cache easily in 1 day but its about 11 miles
round trip with a little over 4 miles of unmaintained trail. The bushwacking
isn't terrible, there used to be an old trail there but is no longer kept up. its a little overgrown but you can follow it if you have a keen eye. when you get to the falls the trail gets steep, go towards the left and make your way to the bottom.
The cache is located at the bottom of T-Lakes beautiful secret. A 660' Waterfall
(higher than niagra) that is simply amazing. You probably won't even
need the gps to find the cache, if you come all this way you deserve to
find it. This is one of the most un-inhabited areas of the ADK
wilderness and the hike and waterfalls are like no other. Please be
careful at the waterfalls! they are dangerous if you try and look over to
see the bottom. Don't be fooled by the first set of smaller falls that you
encounter, although beautiful, they are nothing compared to the 600' + falls
you are about to see! This is a great hiking/camping trip
for those interested! Also If your interested, the trail head to panther mt. is off the same road, short hike and a great view on top, there is even a cache up there!
This is a cache that is definitly NOT about the cache!
Congratz and thx dr.evil1 and his crew for making this cache your 100th find!
