Welcome to the Thacher State Park to Mine Kill State Park BONUS which is the final part of the Thacher State Park to Mine Kill State Park series of caches. In each of the other caches you got a number for part of a North or West coordinate that you needed for the final cache in Mine Kill State Park. The displayed coordinates will take you to the closest parking area. I would not recommend that you do this cache in winter. Please put the container back where you found it. The coordinates for the cache are N 42°XX.XXX W 074°XX.XXX, if one of the caches in the series has to get archived I will replace the X with the number that was in that cache. If you need to verify a number email me. If you want the final numbers with out going to the other caches let me know I will email them to you but they will not be in the same order as the numbers that have been put into the caches. As part of the series is promote the Long Path this final cache is on the Long Path in Mine Kill State Park. The section the runs through Mine Kill State Park is section 29.
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.
