Geocache Description:

This cache was placed to celebrate my Dad's 83th birthday. He has lived on the north side of Schenectady, AKA- "Goose Hill", his whole life except for the year he was overseas during WW2. His childhood home was located at the IP but was torn down in the early 90's to build what's there now. The directions that this multi will take you in follows Dad's old paper route that he did when he was 10 for $3.75 a week- that was at the height of the Great Depression. At part 2 there was a store where Dad used to buy a donut or two. At part 3, he still remembers the pretty girl named Grace who lived by the railroad tracks. Near where the final is placed, he used to rest and watch the sunset. I suggest that you drive it but you could walk it or bike it the way good old Dad used to.

Part 1 and 2 are identical magnetic unconventional micros. They are similar in where they are placed and the number of muggles you will encounter. Part 3 is a typical Canalgirl container attached by nail with coords to the final inside. The final, a lock and lock cylinder, will make you forget that you are still in Schenectady.

Good luck and let me know when any parts go missing. I have a feeling the locals may remove parts 1 or 2.
