Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Follow The Lehigh Series.

This is one cache in a series of caches along the Lehigh Valley Trail (North Branch). Each cache contains information which can be used to find the final cache. You do not need to find them in any specific order or all at once. The Finale Cache has been archived (9/2/11) due to construction/landscaping near the canal.The cache is a small, almost micro Lock n Lock container hidden just off the trail.

          The Northern branch of the trail begins along the Canal Path, near the University of Rochester. It continues past RIT and then meets up with the Lehigh Valley Linear Park. It connects to other scenic trails throughout Western New York, including the Erie Canal Towpath in Brighton, the Lehigh Valley Railroad’s Black Diamond Trail in Mendon and Rush, and the Genesee Valley Greenway west of the Genesee River. In the future, the trail will connect, uninterrupted, with trails that lead to Albany, Buffalo, and the Southern Tier. This is one of my favorite trails around here, it is pretty much a straight shot from RIT to downtown Rochester, via the Lehigh and then through the Genesee Valley Park. I love riding my bike along this trail and that’s why I came out with this series of caches. Portions of the trail are on sidewalks and along roads, so keep an eye out for cars. Most of these caches are not meant to be too hard, so don’t over think them. When you find each cache, make sure you notice the clue for the final cache. The trail is open dawn to dusk, so no night caching! Good luck and have fun!
