WELCOME TO THE OCATT!
'OCATT' stands for
Old
Croton
Aqueduct
Tribute
Trail
This is a tribute trail for all geocachers who live and/or
geocache within the confines of Westchester County in the great
state of New York! This series spans over 30 miles, from
Croton’s Reservoir Dam to NYC’s High Bridge. Please
read the following information to ensure a positive experience with
your journey.
***************************************************************
All caches are accessible during any season and they are physically
located along, but not on, the actual OCA.
***************************************************************
Each geocache in this series was placed with utmost respect to the
OCA, nearby home owners, and the potential for muggles.
***************************************************************
The trail is generally a 1.5 (flat/unpaved) terrain, although the
listed ratings are adjusted based on how difficult it will be once
you break away from it.
***************************************************************
Should you journey the OCA in its entirety, you will be presented
with a generous blend of rural, suburban, and urban
developments.
***************************************************************
All containers, aside from a select few that happen to be custom
fabrications, are micro test tubes. None are simply placed for all
to see; every container has been handled with special care, hidden
and camouflaged as a traditional geocache.
***************************************************************
If you are looking for a quick P&G numbers crunch like other
mega-series runs, this isn't it.
***************************************************************
Should you find difficulty in your search, I have provided a hint
to be used at your own discretion for each listing, although you
are encouraged to do without it.
***************************************************************
To extract the log from each geocache container, you will need to
use a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers.
***************************************************************
There may be thorns in some places, as well as the potential for
ticks in a few others, so it is recommended to come prepared.
***************************************************************
Everything within the standard Groundspeak Disclaimer applies
here.
***************************************************************
This is a very long trail with multiple parking options, so you are
on your own for the most part. Depending on the listing I will do
my best to advise where exactly to go, although the preferred
option is to travel as much of it as you can without driving to
each intersection.
***************************************************************
Be sure to check out other caches nearby this trail, as there are
many that will be worth your while.
***************************************************************
GOOD LUCK
CATTLEDOGS
Geocaching since December 2006, the Cattledogs have roamed over
hill and dale, fields and prairies of central Westchester in search
of those dog-friendly treasure boxes. With this nearby park land
being so abundant with dog-friendly types of activities, it seems
to be the best idea in tributing them at a great place to begin a
fun-filled day. There is even a fantastic memorial plaque up on the
OCA near this cache that talks about historic years gone by. Thanks
Cattledogs for being here among us, and please come back to cache
often. This one is for you!
