Geocache Description:

12 of the 13. The last or first on the loop depending on which way you head. Cache name says it all.

This series of 13 caches is just to get everyone out to the Bog. The caches are not meant to be hard, although coords are always iffy in the bog.

The Izaak Walton League owns 440 acres on the eastern boundary of the Rome Sand Plains which is protected for the public interest. Their property encompasses the Pitch Pine Bog and is developed with approximately 3.5 miles nature trails in several loops. The trails pass through a mixture of bog, pitch pine and upland forest habitats. The property contains one of the largest beaver ponds in New York State.

The Izaak Walton League manages its property for recreation and outdoor education use. Cross country skiing, hiking and biking are allowed on the property. During open seasons, hunting and trapping are allowed under a special permit the individuals first obtain from the chapter president. There are no fires, motorized vehicles or camping allowed.
