Geocache Description:

There is a small parking area at each end of the Rail Road Trail

The cache is about a 3lb plastic Planters Peanut jar wedged into it's spot; filled with trinkets and a log book. Sign the Log Book and exchange trinkets.

This is a nice short walking path along the Silver Lake Outlet; perhaps once traversed by Mary Jemison on her way to the Letchworth Park area in 1758. It is definitely a Rail Road bed that took travelers to the Silver Lake Walker recreational area. Many travelers from around the world hoped to catch sight of the famous Silver Lake Sea Serpent.

When searching for this cache please enter the wooded area at an angle that starts 90' to 100' from the cache. ( See the hint.) Avoid making a right angle path directly to the cache. The wooded area is only about 75 feet deep so a new straight line path would attract unwanted attention. Plus I don't want you to disturb the snake I saw guarding the spot where a direct line might be created.

Additional Hints (No hints available.)
