This cache is
placed to honor WRR's 3000th find.
The cache is
a 3-part multi (one part for each of Bill’s thousand finds) and
provides a nice hike through DEC managed land in Kings Park. You
will need a permit to hike here.
Here’s a link to the
application. Parts 1 and 2 are 35mm film canisters, the
final part is an ammo box with regular swag. All parts are
traditional hides and should be easy finds for all.
Part 1 is
located about 30’ off the trail near the trailhead (N 40° 52.710, W
73° 14.531).
Part 2 is
located about 6’ off the trail. The purpose of Part 2 is to gently
guide you along the trail, and keep you from bushwhacking directly
from Part 1 to Part 3. The hike from Part 1 to Part 2 will
bring you down a hill, through a small island of pine trees (enjoy
the soft needles under your feet!). This pine area has
evidence of teen muggles, so when the weather is nice, you may
encounter other visitors.
Mild
bushwhacking
will be necessary for Part 3 as it is roughly 400’ off the trail,
but please do not panic, it sounds a lot worse than it is.
The area is very sparsely forested, there are little-to-no thorns
and no PI as far as we could see, but keep in mind we hid this in
December. On the approach to Part 3 you will also encounter some
elevation changes.
After finding
Part 3, you may be tempted to walk back along Meadow Rd., but we
strongly advise against this, since there are no sidewalks.
Your total round trip distance should be between 0.5 mi. and 0.6
mi, and if you plan on combining this trip with LLKD-27 Dog Toy
Cache and/or LLKD-26
Reptile Toy Cache, then we’d recommend doing those after
finding Part 2.
Be cautious
and dress appropriately. The terrain is rating three because there
are several elevation changes.
Please trade
equally at the final part and re-hide all parts just as well as you
found them. Thanks!
Congratulations
again, Bill!
