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 Past:
In August, 2011 Hurricane Irene caused the Schoharie Creek to overflow its banks and devastate the hamlet of Fort Hunter. The high water came this far. Opposite the cache’s hiding spot, is an abandoned garage. The house that was here was shifted off its foundation and therefore torn down.
The Present:
A volunteer built this awesome trailhead following the flooding. Please sign it and take a brochure or two.
The Future:
The towpath trail will soon have all new signage and trail makers.
