Geocache Description:

Green Arrow. Two parts Robin Hood, one part Batman, one part Warlord of Mars, shake vigorously and you have Green Arrow. This is one character that has literally gone to hell and back, and still has the cojones to have a sense of humor about the whole thing.

Like most characters, his origin story has changed over time, but the crux has stayed the same. Oliver Queen, playboy millionaire, finds himself stranded on a deserted island, struggles to survive by living like Robinson Crusoe, finds his way back to civilization, fights crime as Green Arrow.

Welcome to Fort Tryon Park.
You are practically standing "on top of" New York, as not far from here is the highest point in New York City, at Bennett Park. Nearby you should see the gardens and grounds of Ft. Tryon Park and The Cloisters. There's a beautiful view of Hudson. You should walk around and explore. You might turn a corner, or walk down a path, and find one of the many little beautiful nooks and hidden spots. Just south of the cache location (less than 80 meters), is an awesome stone arch that is just... awesome.

Fort Tryon is the location for an annual medieval festival where an archer such as Green Arrow would fit in perfectly. In fact, I saw someone dressed very much like him when placing the cache.

Container is a long camo'ed tupperware container. Please make sure it's closed securely, and re-hide as well, if not better, than found. And of course, beware of muggles. They can see you long before you can see them.

**Also, there is a homeless resident, just north of the location (north of the stairs), in what I believe is the BEST camouflaged spot EVER! It's difficult to see even when you know it's there. I don't think he's a danger, as I've only seen him once. EVER!

Congrats to G.O. Cash for the FTF!
