Geocache Description:

Hidden near South Beacon Mountain at an elevation of 1600 feet. On a clear day you may be able to see New York City.

"I was just passing and happened to have this 35 mm film canister in my pocket and thought that this lamp post was just crying out for a leaky container and a soggy log" -- Anonymous As it happens, the film canister mutated into the ammo can that was removed from jonboy's recently-archived Heliogoland cache and includes a log book, the swag from Heliogoland, a TB, and a few extra Things of Pooh. During the summer this can be a popular spot, especially for a lunchtime picnic. From here it is a hop, skip, and a jump to the less-visited area of the Jacob's Ladder cache and from there you can make a loop back along the Yellow (Wilkinson) trail. Additionally, you can continue on Wilkinson in a northerly direction past the junction of the Casino (Red) trail towards The Sign of The Cross. Enjoy the hike and the view of the Lamp Post (sort of). Parking coordinates are the same as for Lady Luck (N41 29.639 W73 57.593) Note: If you are looking for this cache as a prior finder, as of November 2015, the cache is a few feet from its previous resting place. The coordinates remain unchanged as it's within the EPE of recreational GPS units.
