Feeling Lymey Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

Just recently, after running a 104 fever for 4 days, I was diagnosed with lyme disease. I wasn't surprised seeing how I usual find a tick on me once every other month. I was prescribed over a months worth of two antibiotics, doxycycline and cefuroxime (excuse me if I've spelled these wrong). They have there side affects and I wonder what is the medication and what is the Lyme? I wonder whether I will be lucky enough to have caught it early and this lengthy dose of drugs will cure it or will I be suffering from chronic Lyme disease for the rest of my life.
The cache you will be looking for is one of these left over pill bottles. I have hidden it on a section of the LP that is the most remote and unused section that I have seen so far. This trail is very well marked with blue round NY state trail markers. You will at times have to push your way through over grown brush along the way and most likely need to check for ticks often. Now I know none of this has made this cache seem very appealing, however this trail needs to be used or it will disappear. I can promise great views and a beautiful, quiet, isolated hike.
I was recently contacted about access points to this section of the long path and where to park. I have now waymarked parking. You can look at the map I have uploaded from my long path hiking guide. I found a short cut route into First steps a Bluesy cache in my guide book. You can turn SW off 52 on Cox Rd. towards the lower Parking on the map. You will find the long path turquoise blazes on the east side of the road with enough room to pull over. The entry point into the woods is across the road and up a driveway (also blazed). The driveway turns into an old mountain road over grown with tall grass but no small trees yet. If I remember right, it will not be more than a quarter of a mile before you reach where the well marked Long Path trail crosses the old road. Turn North from here and you will find a very over grown trail but still blazed with the turquoise trail markers.
The other entry point is on Rt. 52. North of the above mentioned parking and just south of the cache "3,2,1,Go", You will find a pull off on the west side of the road. There is only enough room for one car near a chain that keeps cars from driving on his entry point to another old mountain road. There you can access my cache "old Toolbox". Follow this road west till the long path crosses. Turn left on to the long path.
