Geocache Description:

A lot of work went into revitalizing the Newburgh Waterfront, it's time to get caches back here to share the beauty. You are looking for a typical nano.

My original cache would not fit, so I had to go with a nano until I can get the correct container.
Hey, I have to hunt them, so do you kenzosmileys

From the plaque:

The Newburgh
Chapter of UNICO
National
October 11, 1992
In celebration of a 500th Anniversary
commemorating the vision, courage, determination
and voyages of
Christopher Columbus
And the crews of the Nina, the Pinta, and the
Santa Maria whose gallantry resulted in the
joining of two worlds then unknown to each other.
We, the members of UNICO of Newburgh, and
generous friends inscribed hereon dedicate this
monument to the Spirit Of Exploration
exhibited by the gallant Americans here from
every nation.

I didn't know the ocean blue sailed all the way up the hudson. I never would have thought to find a monument to Columbus this far up the Hudson. It is a beautiful sculpture in an even nicer waterfront than previous years. A lot of money and effort went into revitalizing the waterfront and it has paid off tremendously. The parking lots are full most every night in the spring, summer and fall. Enjoy the shops, and the views.

Depending on the time of day, you may be able to park in the lot right next to the monument, or you may have to find a spot on the other side of the RR tracks and walk over.
