Geocache Description:

Located in Spectacular Letchworth State Park

Named for the land formation it is located on this cache area provides a unique perspective on the awesome gorge at Letchworth. It is not recommended for small children, as the rim of the gorge is not fenced. As you approach the cache stop for a moment at N42 43.227 W077 55.009 for the first of several very nice gorge vistas.

In addition to the regular items we have included one of Mrs. Rocky's infamous CACHING HATS. We ask that this item not be removed, but encourage all who find the cache to model the hat, both for the cache camera and your own photos. Unless you are Bob Bowter there is only one way in and out, see the encrypted hints for parking and starting instructions.

You may also want to stop by the Mt. Morris Dam Visitors Center located at N42 43.874 W077 54.360.

The cache has been plundered twice since we originally placed it. The current location is very close to the original and the coordinates have been adjusted as of 9/6/02. Due to this the cache is well hidden. However:

DO NOT TAKE ANY RISK NEAR THE EDGE OF THE RIM. THE CACHE IS IN A SAFE PLACE THAT IS BACK AWAY FROM RIM.

Although well hidden you will find it just by moving a dead limb or piece of bark, please put things back as you found them.
