Geocache Description:

This is Zoar Valley Series



Cache Details
Come to beautiful Holcomb Pond located off Vail Road in the Zoar Valley MUA!

You are looking for a camouflaged .50 cal ammo box. Bring your camera and enjoy the area.

Watch out for the Atomic Spiders clinging to the cache (they are not real folks - smile). Rumor has it these spiders have traveled down the Catt from West Valley and thus the nice atomic green glow they give off when making a web.

Park Hours & Information
This cache is located in the Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area. The MUA hours are sunrise to sunset and are strictly enforced by DEC Rangers.

The Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area is a NYS DEC controlled 2,923 acre area located in Erie and Cattaraugus Counties and which adjoins the Cattaraugus Creek in an area featuring a canyon with steep walls. This Multiple Use Area was purchased under the 1960 Multiple Use Bond Act (1,498 acres), with additional land (1,425 acres) deeded by Herbert F. Darling. Along with the canyon or gorge associated with Cattaraugus Creek the area features natural forests, small areas of plantations and an experimental chestnut plantation.
