Hats off to Harry Potter Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Stargeezer: Harry has been out of the spotlight for a few years, and a recent fire has destroyed this cache; I'll let another cacher set one up in this area.

It has been a good run with 276 smileys.

Geocache Description:

This cache (50 cal ammo can) can be found on the Hemlock Trail (near the Saratoga Racino entrance access roads). This is a well-marked trail. After finding the cache, continue on to follow the trail which will eventually loop back to the parking area. Total round trip distance is approximately 1.5 miles. Approval from Saratoga State Park has been received - sticker attached to container.

Park/gate closes at sunset. Please park at the listed coordinates.




In tribute to J. F. Rowling's last book in the Harry Potter series, we wanted to make a special cache in honor of Harry. We don't know what will happen to Harry in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, but we do know that he had a great run.

Initial contents were -

2 x Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone (books)
Special Harry Potter desk set
Harry Potter Fun Book
Pair of Harry Potter glasses
Harry Potter bookmarks (take only one per cacher)
Harry Potter napkins (take only one per cacher)
2 x Harry Potter journals
Hogwarts notepad
3 x Harry Potter play scripts

As a special FTF reward, there is the first gold tone Stargeezer 1000 geocoin (to commemorate our 1000th find). This coin is trackable, but unactivated. The FTF may either keep or activate the coin - your choice. If the coin is activated, it should be moved from cache to cache.

Note - trail may become muddy in areas after heavy rains.

It looks like all of the Harry Potter related items have been cleaned out.
