What evil lurks in the dark, on the trails of Black Creek
Park...
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
The essentials:
- The coordinates take you to the beginning of a trail of fire
tacks that lead you to the first waypoint. You are looking for a
tree with multiple tacks on it. Once you find that, the first WP is
within 10 feet.
- There are a total of four waypoints and a final.
- For some of the waypoints you may find a "helper" that
indicates you are within 10 feet (or so, as I didn't have my tape
measure with me) of the waypoint. I added some extra bling to the
helpers for the final as for some reason the GPS became quite
unreliable around the final when placing it.
- Please take care with the waypoints. Also take care if you have
a latex allergy.
- The early part of the trail (primarily before the first fire
tack) is a bit muddy. After that the trails are pretty
dry.
- There are some prickers, particularly around the first
waypoint, but some scattered about on other areas of the
trails.
- See comments on parking below.
There will be 50 bonus points for cachers that do this cache at
night and find all the wp's. This can be done with effort during
the day but if you choose to do that, no bonus points.
According to the county website the park hours are as
follows:
April 1st until October 31st, the park is open everyday from
7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
November 1st until March 31st, Monday through Thursday the park
is open 7:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday the park is
open from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
Do what you are going to do, but after the 31st you should only
go for this Friday through Sunday. No bonus points if you go when
the park is off limits as I can't reward law breaking.
Remember each OC cache will give you the opportunity to learn
about the location of the
final bonus cache. It will be hidden somewhere in a non-obvious
but findable way.
The cache is a medium sized lock & lock. Once you've located
it, add your name to the log book and when you write your online
log/note for the find please include the number beside your log
entry. Please only one cacher per line in the log book. There will
be a "lammy" for the FTF. The final is full of swag so Day 1 and 2
finders can feel free to take something without trading.
There will be 10 bonus points for the first 3 cachers to contact
me with the answer to this question. What special significance does
Agropoli, Italy have to the Rochester Area?
Good luck and stay safe.
Congrats to StrivingforCamelot, Team
GeoGriffin, and the Mack4 for being the first to successfully
answer the bonus question. Agropoli, Italy is the sister city of
Chili, NY.
Congrats to TheGoonies2008 for
being First to Find!!!
