Viele Pond
Placing a cache here was only the second time that I have been
in this area, down this road, in the middle of the Adirondacks. The
last time was after work and I was exploring some spots for caches
in Warrensburgh. Just down the road was a location I had hoped to
bring people: Old Spring Road. This was where we would come to fill
our many 1-gallon milk jugs with water from a spring on the side of
the road. When I visited this site last year, the pipe and any
signs of a spring were gone. It was now private property, owned by
a person in Schenectady.
I had never been any further on Harrington Hill Road than the
spring, so a little exploring was called for! The paved road gave
way to a dirt road the dirt road gave way to a more treacherous
dirt road. This was followed in reverse as the road became more
graded and then turned to pavement. I then came out on Route 9N
across from the Lake Luzerne State campsite.
Liking those seasonal roads, I decided to drag Karen back here
to place a cache. The body of water, by standards of the
Adirondacks, is a pond. I still view it as a small lake. Bring a
pole for fishing as this one is stocked with trout, and a picnic
basket as there are some really nice views. The water, though
obviously swim-able, does look a bit pond-ish, with its lily pads
and brown tint.
The container started with a Little Rascals video, a candle, a
bag of water balloons, and a bag full of assorted rubber worms.
Please take only the worms you may wish to use for this lake and
not the whole container. Leave some for future fisherman and their
families or trade out with some of your own.
