This Cache is a metal AMMO box that has been placed in Turning
Point Park in the city of Rochester, near a hiking trail that sees
high public usage. This Park is in an old railroad industrial area
of the city where railroad cars unloaded coal into the holds of
large ships below in the Genesee River for export to Canada. There
are many trails (paved and dirt) through hardwoods that take you to
vistas of the Genesee River below. One of the many spectacular
views is of the small bay near a point in the Genesee River that
was used by the large steamer ships to turn around before loading
their cargo of coal and heading back out to Lake
Ontario....hence...Turning Point Park.
The current geocache location is being placed for a geocaching
demonstration to be held on April 20, 2002 at the City of
Rochester's "Earth Day Celebration". The box is being loaded with
freebie stuff for the celebration but fellow geocachers are
encouraged to stop by to log their find and swap some prizes. When
replacing the cache in it's hiding spot, please try to hide the box
as well or better than I did so that it will not be found easily by
non-cachers. One of the prizes in the cache container is a pair of
RPO (Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra) tickets for May 25, 2002.
Anyone that is interested in them please stop by and take them with
you.
The park entrance and parking lot is located at the east end of
Boxart Street in the City of Rochester. Parking coordinates are N
43º-13.659' W 77º-37.069'.
No clues are needed to find this cache; the trails and the find
are very easy.
