The mission of the Finger Lakes Trail is "...to build, protect,
promote, and enhance a continuous footpath across New York State.
Forever!" The trail is comprised of 561 miles of main trail and 351
miles of branches. It extends from the New York-Pennsylvania state
line in Allegany State Park and runs to Long Path in the Catskill
Forest Preserve. The over 911 miles of trails are maintained by
volunteer "sponsors" and crosses an equal amount of private land as
it does public land. Many sections of the FLT have been designated
as parts of the North Country National Scenic Trail that when
completed will contain 4600 miles of trails for hiking enjoyment.
For all the information on the FLT visit FLT Conference!
You will be looking for a 3 stage multi cache on a section of
the Finger Lakes Trail adopted by our friendly caveman, Paleoman52
and his lovely counterpart, Dehgewanus. This section of the trail
takes you through a majestic wooded lot between Graham and Camp
roads. I want everyone to find every leg on this cache to enjoy the
beauty of this trail so take your time, use your eyes, and let your
GPSr settle at every leg. You will be rewarded with a more
enjoyable experience. Please replace every leg as good or better
than you found it. The final is a smegular (not quite a small
but not quite a regular) 4"X5" watertight container. I do
reccommend boots of some sort. Do not go here in anything less. I
have posted trailhead coordinates below.
If you have not already, visit P-Man's FLT
(GC260E6) by Howie and Zoggy. It is a great hike to another
majestic spot on the other section of trail P-Man and Dehgewanus
adopted and is not far from here!
Remember that this trail crosses private property. If you
abuse it, we lose it! Please stay on the trail as you travel
between legs. The trail is clearly marked by white blazes along the
way. The legs are also hidden close to the trail so the surrounding
area gets as little impact as possible. The FLT is a footpath and
no bikes, horses, motorized vehicles, or snowmobiles are
allowed.
For the FTF, there is a gold $1 coin and a 2008 Canadian
Armestince Quarter. Also I am doing something different with this
cache. After the first ten logs, I will put all the finders in a
hat and have Mrs.S draw a name for a handmade walking stick. Good
luck and thank you for visiting.
