What a great cache!!! Very nice scenery, well placed micros, a most interesting payoff, and coords that were dead on. 

01 - LOST on Pine Point

LOST on Pine Point

Have to say this rates as a perfect multi. Challenging but not impossible micros with hiking in wooded areas and by the water. A very nice hour-long hike!

02 - Spruce point

Spruce point

Red Sox fan deep in enemy territory for the 4th of July weekend. Among the couple dozen Upsate NY caches found, this was certainly one of the best. Nice hike in a very scenic area. Initially missed the Finger Lakes Trail where it crosses Shackham Road but I spotted it during my second pass by. Parking was about .51 miles from cache but the walk was more like two miles round trip. It took a bit of patience and faith as the trail went right and looked like it might not get there, but eventually turned left at a stream and offered scenery well worth the extra hike.

03 - Shackham Brook Lean To

Shackham brook Lean to

Very nicely done multi taking cachers to a pair of scenic spots. Stage one was a nice hike along a stream to the falls. Stage two was in a very different, still scenic area not far away. Was one of the top two caches among many found south of Syracuse, NY, while visiting family during the 4th of July 2005.

04 - CNY Falls #4 (Tinker Falls)

CNY Falls #4 (Tinker Falls)

Found this along with 17 other caches while on a weekend getaway in New hampshire and this was one of the nicest areas we hiked. The distance reading from the parking lot was deceptive as this turned out to be about a one mile hike. Was happy to be there longer than planned. 

05 - Rocky Gorge

Rocky Gorge

A very well done multi in a scenic area with creative micros, and a nice stash. 

06 - Something for Everyone

Something for Everyone

Enjoyed the concept, the nicely placed micros, and the woods. I was uncertain of the correct answer to all three trivia questions and that actually added to the fun. 

07 - Trivial Trail Pursuit .... NOT!

Trivial Trail Pursuit .... NOT!

Great area for a cache and it had to be a multi to allow a full tour of the various interesting terrain. I don't imagine any other cache with a walk this short (30-40 minutes) could offer such variety. 

08 - Heron Hideaway

Heron Hideaway

Certainly the most memorable of 15 Rhode Island caches found on an "extended clearance day" with Hotwcnyy. If I had thought ahead, I would have planned this as my 250th cache as it's uniqueness makes it a fitting milestone cache. Unfortunately, the record will show it was #247. The walk through the tunnel was much less daunting than expected, clearly the least ominous of the three tunnel caches I have explored to date. The other side offered a very interesting area well worth visiting and a pretty challenging find considering the many hiding places and spotty GPS readings. 

09 - The Lawton Valley Cache Register

The Lawton Valley Cache Register

A mystery cache that is pretty much straightforward if you know what tool to use but it still had me scratching my head for quite awhile. Once I found it, I could not believe how long it took me to solve the mystery. Check the log for more details. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=26088498-3f26-4424-b91d-36bfda503694
