Geocache Description:


A NIGHT CACHE




To the tune of"50 Ways To Leave Your Lover" with apologies to Paul Simon

Click to LISTEN to "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover"


The problem is it’s dark outside, she said to me

But it’s so easy, if you take it logically

Just follow the reflective boxes, and you’ll see

There now are 50 tacks, helping you succeed


She said it’s really not my habit to intrude

Furthermore, I hope my meaning won’t be lost or misconstrued

But I’ll repeat myself at the risk of being crude

There now are 50 tacks, helping you succeed

50 tacks, helping you succeed


Just follow the Tacks, Jack

Hop on the Key, Lee

Get a GPS, Bess

And fresh Batteries


Check out the Tree, Bea

Look at the Trunk, Punk

Just search in the hole, Lowell

And get Batteries


The listed coordinates are for the Trailhead and parking off Brookside Drive between Glen and South Orange Avenues. See a photo of the Trailhead below. HOLD YOUR FLASHLIGHT AT EYE LEVEL and follow the 3/8 inch Reflective Squares (Firetacks) that are placed along the Right side of the wide trail and along the Bushwack path to all stages. If you hold the Flashlight at waist level the squares will REFLECT POORLY. The Firetacks are located from 20 to 40 feet apart at head height and will lead you past The Nocturnal Creatures you might see in the kitchen of our first apartment in the Bronx(# 1). You will then continue on past another Nocturnal Creature (# 2) ending your hike at the Nearby Cache and the Nocturnal Creature that guards it (# 3). Inorder to get credit for this cache, you will have to email us with the names of the 3 Nocturnal Creatures, as well as sign the log. The Cache is an Ammo Can. It contains Cache Specific Geopins, Glow Sticks (Just Bend and Shake), Theme Appropriate Stuff including "Dora the Explorer Flashing Pins", Log and Pencils.

KEY:

  • Two (2) vertically placed YELLOW Tacks to the Left of the trail = Trailhead
  • Two (2) horizontally placed reflectors = Trail
  • Three (3) horizontally placed reflectors = Turn Right
  • Three (3) Triangularly placed reflectors = Creature of the Night
  • No reflectors seen = "You're outta luck, Chuck"

** Please make certain that the Entrance to the Cache (Final) is reattached in the same manner you have found it. **

Although the Trailwalk and Bushwack to the cache is relatively easy, we recommend that it not be done alone! Please be sure to waymark your hike with your GPSr to simplify your walk back to your car.

Please do not include photos of the Creatures in your logs.



The Park Has An Ordinance that includes a Curfew of 10 PM and a fine for those who violate it!



This cache marks our Fiftieth Cache Hidden....We hope you've enjoyed them as much as we've enjoyed placing them!
