James Baird State Park, Lagrangeville, NY.
This cache is hidden in James Baird State Park located along the Taconic State Parkway in Lagrangeville, NY. The park is mostly known for its 18 hole golf course, but it has picnic grounds, tennis courts, and several miles of trails. The trails are well maintained year round as they are designed not only for hiking, but also mountain bikes, x-country skiiing and snow shoeing when old man winter decides to pay a visit. The park is open from sunrise to sunset 12 months a year. Pets are allowed on leashes. There is easy access from the Taconic State Parkway in both directions and from Freedom Road for those with commercial plates. (Not allowed on the Taconic) This entrance is marked with a small sign for trucks and buses, but cars are permitted to use this entrance also.
I have placed three different types of caches in this park so you can enjoy the trails. This cache is located on the BLUE trail. Please do NOT park along the roads in the park. Best parking for all three caches is at: N41* 41.489 W073*47.481. The cache is a 50cal. ammo can. You should be able to track it down even with snow by using your Geosenses. Continuing on this trail will bring you out near the golf driving range and the Blue tees of the 6th hole.
If you plan on doing all 3 of my caches in this park, the best way to do them is: 1) Zilla’s Stomping Grounds, 2) Add 1 TSP of Cache, 3) Baird Blues, in that order for a nice 2.5-3 mile loop. The trails are wide and there are a few steep spots, but the hills are not very long.
The cache contains a non-trackable FTF coin prize and a camera. Please take a picture when you’re logging your find and replace it in the cache so I can post the photos when it’s full. Other original contents of this cache: A Dale Earnhardt suncatcher, FM radio, Dreamcatcher wind chime, emergency poncho, pet ID containers, my own Copper Tee Geocoin, several Travel Bugs and other swag. Hopefully this will be a quick and safe place for TB trades.
This cache was placed with the permission of the park manager and was issued a NYS Parks Geocaching Permit. Please abide by the park rules so that all may enjoy these trails.
