Welcome to cache number seven of the Thacher State Park to Mine Kill State Park series. There are eleven caches in this series. This series also is an effort to promote the Long Path. A number of the caches in the series are either on the long path or near to it. In ten of these caches you will get a number for the final coordinate. As a hint so you get the numbers in order follow the cache list below. The rest area this cache is near has some nice picnic tables and right next to the river, so it is a nice place to stop for lunch/dinner. I would not recommend doing this cache when there is a lot of snow on the ground. Please put the container back in the same hiding spot you found it in. Also bring your own pen since there is not enough room in the cache for one. Even though there is enough room on the shoulder of Route 30 next to the cache I would suggest parking at the rest area. Congrats to c5z FTF

As this series seems to be getting great reviews I have created a webpage devoted to the series. I included the background of how I came up with the series, explaining the connection to the Long Path, and a little background about Geocaching in the Albany, NY area.
