Geocache Description:

Located in Oatka Creek Park, near Scottsville, NY

This cache is located in Oatka Creek Park in the town of Wheatland, near Scottsville, NY. It’s in a very pleasant openly wooded area near Oatka Creek, and the name is a result of our seeing no less than eight white-tail deer in the cache area as we walked in on a beautiful late November day. The cache is a gray .30 cal ammo can with green lettering and is placed about fifty feet off an open but not well defined trail through the woods; it’s concealed but is visible from a limited area. It may be difficult to find with snow cover in the winter. The cache contains some Matchbox cars, some Keokuk geodes (mineral specimens), Red Rose Tea ceramic figures, some gadgets and toys, and, of course, a log book to note your find. Please note, some possible shortcuts to the cache would cross private property, so please follow the trails within the park.
