Geocache Description:


Hey you made it! Welcome to the NY/NJ State Line on the Shawangunk Ridge Trail. This is a larger Tupperware type container with several trackables already in it. Trade em out with some new ones.

Please camouflage this as best you can as it's real close to the trail.

There are 2 ways to approach this cache. You can either enter via High Point state park in NJ and hike north along the SRT, or you can park on Greenville Turnpike in NY and hike south along the SRT.

Trail Info:
The Shawangunk Ridge Trail provides a hiking opportunity that runs for 35-miles along the length of the ridge from High Point to Minnewaska.

At High Point, it joins the world's longest linear park and greenway, the 2150-mile Appalachian Trail, which runs from Springer Mountain, Georgia to Mount Katadin in Maine.

The Long Path, a 300-mile trail from New York City through the Catskills to north of Thatcher State Park near Albany, also joins the Shawangunk Ridge Trail at the Wurtsboro Ridge Forest Preserve.

The Shawangunk Ridge Trail is considered part of the Long Path trail system because of the loop it forms starting from the Long Path - Appalachian Trail junction in Harriman State Park. It is managed as part of the Long Path.

Congrats to Walkin' Ed for the FTF!
