Geocache Description:

Off the Rutland Trail in the St. Lawrence State Forest

The cache is a 1.8L cylindrical Lock-n-Lock container with:

  • A Mornseer NY Geocaching coin
  • A KaseyBurrell99 Geocaching button
  • Golden Spike #26
  • A wiggly key fob
  • An Open Computing blinky button
  • A supply of the World's Smallest Political Quiz.


Cook Road used to cross the Rutland Railroad a century ago at the point where it turns away from the Rutland to the northeast. You can see the remains of the old Cook Road to the south of the Rutland. The new Cook Road stays on the north side of the Rutland. At the same point where the old Cook Road used to cross (which is now an ATV entrance to the Rutland) Shawville Road took off to the NNE paralleling the Rutland on the north side.

Shawville road goes between the cache and the Rutland Trail. Doesn't take much of an imagination to see it. It's probably only been abandoned about as long as the Rutland itself. It continues to the NNE paralleling the trail until it leaves the St. Lawrence State Forest, heads away from the trail to the NE, and intersects with Blind Crossing Road. On the north side of this intersection is a one-acre plot of land that used to have a schoolhouse on it, and is still owned by Brasher Central School District.
