Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the “Downtown / Main Street USA" series. Please visit the cache that started it all - Downtown / Main Street USA: Edison, NJ. Here you will find the latest count of caches in the series and find out how you can add your own.

Inspired by a Downtown / Main St. hide I found in Matamoras, PA and crafted around the fact that Saratoga has so much historic information to offer, I've designed a multi-stage mystery cache that brings you on a journey through the heart of this urban territory.

To begin, start at the listed coordinates (Stage 1) and follow my route collecting bits of virtual information to find the final container. This cache is very family-friendly and wheelchair accessible until the last 15 feet or so. Muggles will be around you the entire way.

While strolling down Broadway, take a look around and notice all of the little things this city has to offer. My stages bring you to a few interesting sites I enjoyed finding, but there is much more to explore here, so hopefully this will inspire you to do just that!

Your coordinates are:
N43* AA.BCD
W073* EE.FGH

Note: GPS readings may get wonky when close to buildings. No stages require standing in the street. BYOP, be careful with the math (there are a couple tricks!), and good luck!

Congrats on FTF: Stargeezer
