Welcome to the Mine Kill State Park Travel Bug Hotel part of the Thacher State Park to Mine Kill State Park series. There are eleven caches in this series. This series also is an effort to promote the Long Path. A number of the caches in the series are either on the long path or near to it. In ten of these caches you will get a number for the final coordinate. As a hint so you get the numbers in order follow the cache list below. Please put the container back in the same hiding spot you found it in. This is a regular size conatianer that can hold travel bugs, geocoins, and geokrets. Please respect the wishes and goals of the owners of any of the travelers. I would not recommend doing this cache when there is a lot of snow on the ground. Section 29 of the Long Path runs through Mine Kill State Park. Congrats to c5z FTF
Follow this link to New York/New Jersey Trail Conference for the list of the sections of the Long Path.
As this series seems to be getting great reviews I have created a webpage devoted to the series. I included the background of how I came up with the series, explaining the connection to the Long Path, and a little background about Geocaching in the Albany, NY area.
