Somewhere
in the heart of the Catskill Mountains lurks the Beast of
Belleayre!
This is
dedicated to the beloved Beast known to all who live in this
region.
This
multi-cache covers a distance of 2 miles and includes a vertical
rise of 1300 ft from start to finish. For the avid hiker this can
be a nice day on the mountain when there's no ice or snow. For the
clever cacher, the amount of hiking required to reach the stash can
be kept to a minimum; the final leg of the cache hunt can be made
quick and easy by riding on the back of The
Beast.
