Are you brave enough to wonder out through the dark woods at night?
Perhaps this cache will test your courage.
Although there are no longer saber-toothed tigers roaming the woods
or enemy warriors behind every bush, there are still dangers out
there that require a great deal of courage to overcome. Sometimes
it takes all you have to stand up to those who would offer you
drugs or alcohol and just say "NO". Temptations will abound all
through your life... and only YOU can decide whether your future is
in jeopardy by those temptations.
PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO GET TO THIS CACHE FROM THE HIGHWAY
!
New coordinates will lead you to a parking lot on Silvermine Road
just west of the Police Dept.. From there you must scan your
flashlight down the paved trail until you see a small reflection, a
dot. These "glints" will lead you to the cache. Some are white, and
some are red. The color has no significance. The glints are laid
out similar to trail markings on the Appalachian Trail. One glint
means straight ahead. A glint with another on top and to the right
means turn right, and so on. Most of the time you will be on a
trail so if you loose sight of the glints just continue down the
trail. When you come to three glints in the form of a triangle, you
are there. Keep in mind that the glints are brightest when light is
reflected straight back to the source. So keep you light as close
to your eyes as possible. Headlamps are best suited for this
purpose.
Many of the trails you are walking, on plus those leading
further to the south, were built by the efforts of Troop 8,
Brookfiled under the guidance of Scout Martin Foncello. Martin is
currently Assistant District Attorney in Mahattan.
I am reminded by Giriando that there is barbed wire just
past the cache so be careful in the dark. Thanks for your
input.
