This cache replaces the dislocated Snug harbor cache, it's now a
nice, easy, multi and hopefully in a more secure area. We did find
some beginning growth of Poison Ivy when we placed the cache, so
beware if you're alergic. NOTE: About half of the cachers have
reported the final locations (cache) off by about 50'. The other
half have made no mention of it being off. The last cacher gave me
updated coords, which I have entered. However, IF YOU LOCATE AND DO
FIND THE READING IS OFF, CAN YOU PLEASE E-MAIL UPDATED COORDS-
APPRECIATE IT). Park in either the main lot across from the main
entrance, or at the Childrens Museum.
Stage 1 is at the WTC Tribute: (coords N40 38.556 W074 06.162)
at this coordinate there is a plaque honoring a fallen firefighter
from Rescue 5. There is a 4 digit number on the plaque. That number
minus 8280 gives you the last 3 digits of your next northern
coordinate.
________ (number from plaque)
- 8280
N 40 38._____ (this is the N coordinate for stage 2)
W 074 06.199 (this is the W coordinate for stage 2)
This second coordinate takes you to a bench with a plaque. The
plaque has 2 dates (years). The first year minus 1518 gives you the
last 3 digits of your next northern coordinate.
__________ (number from plaque)
- 1521
N 40 38._____(this is the N coordinate for the cache)
W 074 06.175 (this is the W coordinate for the cache)
Stay a while, Snug Harbor offers a nice variety of outdoor spces
to enjoy, and the Children's Museum is one of the best we've been
to (and we've been to quite a few)
Here's a handy rating system we found for our caches. If you are
handicapped or have small children, it does come in handy:
