This cache is located in Oatka Creek Park in the town of Wheatland, near Scottsville, NY. PLEASE NOTE: This cache was relocated (by a couple hundred feet) on 4/10/02 to higher ground after the area was flooded by spring rains and snowmelt. The new location is very close to a well-used deer trail, and is well concealed. The posted coordinates have been changed to the new location.
The cache site is well off the main path down any of several well-worn deer trails, in a sort of valley or basin hidden between two ridges. The area is lightly wooded, with excellent satellite access. The area should be easy to reach on wide, mowed paths, but depending on the time of year there may be some minor wet areas on the deer trails. As in most parks in the area, you should be on the watch for poison ivy; the cache was placed in March, so with no foliage I wasn’t able to identify all the vegetation in the area, but some looked suspicious. The cache is a camouflage painted .50 caliber ammo can with black lettering and is fairly well concealed. It contains the usual goodies, some games, tools, Red Rose Tea ceramics, a “Teeny Beany”, and a slightly rude item the ten-year-old crowd will love. Of course, there’s the usual log book to record your visit as well. I’m not aware of any potential surprises but haven’t checked out all the routes in. The walk should be less than a mile round trip, depending on where you start.
