As the name suggests, this is a three-legged cache that’s relatively simple. The first waypoint is near historic Keeney Road cemetery in Le Roy town. You can either walk or drive to the second waypoint – it’s a leisurely walk on a quiet country road. The cache is a 30-mm ammo-sized metal box.
The first waypoint is near Keeney Road cemetery, which has many graves that are old, old, old. Most are unreadable or even unrecognizable as headstones. The location of the coordinates to the next waypoint are hidden in a place where the peace and dignity of those interred here will not be disturbed. There’s no need to disturb those at rest. Try the hint if you’re stuck. While it may be more difficult to find in the winter a careful hunter will find it. Since it’s on the Underground Railroad trail, it’s inevitably a burial spot for some of the town’s original settlers and perhaps runaway slaves. Look for familiar or famous names. In the winter, this waypoint could be covered in snow. The second waypoint and the cache itself won't be covered with snow in the winter. Part of your trek takes you down Keeney Road, named after Calvin Keeney. He was born in Le Roy in 1849, developed the "stringless" bean, and introduced the black eyed Yellow Wax bean in 1887. Up until this time all beans had “strings” which had to be removed, thus they were called string beans. In fact there were little tools that would remove the strings. Keeney developed these beans at a time when cross pollination and plant breeding wasn’t known. He planted beans in the middle of corn fields (maybe the ones you'll pass?)to isolate them, picking those with fewer strings. And then planting those seeds over and over. The abandoned railroad bed down the road was once part of the Lehigh Valley Railroad system. Passengers could ride to downtown Rochester.
