Geocache Description:

This cache is fun and easy. The terrain is flat and easy walking. The difficulty will be a 1.5 because of the muggles.

The first on-land bathtub race took place in Moravia (Cayuga County) in honor of Millard Fillmore, the first U.S. President (who just happened to be from Moravia) to install a bathtub in the White House. The race was part of Fillmore Days, which takes place each year on the last weekend in July. This was quite a site. In my life time I did get to see this. At this time I believe they are no longer doing this. To date the last one was circa 2001.

With that said onto the cache. This is my first cache I have placed. I picked a place in Moravia that honors this great race. Readings were close to posted but you should have no problem finding what you are looking for when you get to the posted cordinates. This is private property but permission to place the cache was granted by the property owner.

Because of the location. Please replace in the same area that you found this cache. This is a very high muggle area and I placed it in a place that would keep it safe and not visable from its hidding spot so it wouldn't get muggled. Thanks and Happy Caching!

The location is in a highly populated area. Muggles are all over 6 days a week near by.
