After a backup maintenance check and consultation with my conscience, I have moved this cache slightly to have cachers avoid the "poison ivy garden" that inundated the original cache site. Coordinates and other relative cache listing info has been updated to reflect the changes! I added a WG$ to the cache contents to encourage visitations! (WG$ bills are about the only thing that may fit in the cache as swag!) -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

FOR SAFETY & RULE COMPLIANCE THIS CACHE WAS UPDATED 2/7/05. This cache is a very, very short walk; you can park within about 8 feet of the cache. The cache is located on the north side of the railroad tracks. To get to the cache, you must drive UNDERNEATH the tracks, not over them (hint). Please drive slowly as there may be a couple of houses you pass - happy "natives" are less inclined to bother cachers. The cache is located somewhere accessible from Route 23 between Holland Mountain Road and Reservoir Road. You will have great success if you travel the "old route". If you come across "J2" you are in the correct location. If you cannot see "J2" and your GPS tells you you're getting close but "can't get there from here", please return to your car and drive to another access. While it would be possible to walk to from another area, this would be dangerous, possibly illegal and against geocaching policy/rules. Drive until you see "J2"; from there it's a breeze! The cache itself is in a magnetic spare key holder painted flat black. It contains a log and a small pencil. Look carefully and please replace it exactly as you found it.
