Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of geocaches placed for the American Heroes event on 9/11/2011 at Sleepy Hollow State Park.


Welcome to Sleepy Hollow State Park. A Recreation Passport or motor vehicle permit is required to park in the state park all year round. Daily and annual permits can be purchased on site.

This cache honors all the heroes who manned Space Shuttle Atlantis. A total of 156 unique individuals flew with Space Shuttle Atlantis over the course of its 33 missions between October 1985 and July 2011, including the final mission of the entire space shuttle program (STS 135). Astronaut Jerry Ross holds the record for the most flights aboard Atlantis at five. The Atlantis crew who manned the final space shuttle mission aboard Atlantis was commander Christopher J. Ferguson, pilot Douglas G. Hurley, and mission specialists Sandra H.Magnus and Rex J. Walheim. Many thanks to all of those who risked their lives as participants in the space shuttle program.

The cache is a black ammo can hidden in a typical way. Please stay on available trails until you are close to the cache.

The closest available parking for this cache is at the boat launch parking lot, which has a new entrance off of Price Rd (see waypoint below for the new park entrance). The old Shepardsville Rd entrance has been permanently closed.

Please be aware that hunting is allowed in this park certain times of the year, so be careful and dress appropriately.
