There are 50 geocaches hidden within 16 state parks and state historic sites in the Saratoga/Capital District region, and geocachers finding them all will be eligible to enter their names in a drawing for valuable prizes. If you are interested in taking up the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites, or download the passport at www.nysparks.com.
This cache contains a unique stamp which must stay with the cache. Use this stamp to stamp your passport. This stamp is NOT a trade item. The items in the cache are park souvenirs and do not need to be replaced with a trade item.
"To reach this cache, park in the main parking lot at Grafton Lakes State Park by the beach. Walk up the Water Tower Road as it curves to the right toward the tower. When you’re almost to the tower, you’ll veer off the road to find the cache hidden in a very unusual large-trunked tree. Notice anything odd about it when you look upward to the leaves or closely at the trunk patterns? This fusion of Red Oak and Ash might be called Rash Oak but perhaps you can come up with a better “species” name!
Have a Great Grafton Day!"
