This cache is located a little bit off of the Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) just outside Bath, NY, located at a nice rest stop along the way. The cache container is a rather unique micro. Written permission has been received from the landowner and the FLT Conference has been notified.
The cache is located right nearby a rest area along the FLT.
From the FLT Conference web site http://www.fingerlakestrail.org/:
The Finger Lakes Trail System is the main Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) from the Pennsylvania-New York border in Allegany State Park to the Long Path in the Catskill Forest Preserve. The main FLT is 562.9 miles long. There also are five branch trails and fourteen loop trails that extend from the main FLT. These branch and loop trails currently total 236.0 miles. The Trail System has been and is being built and maintained by 20 organizational and 38 individual and family trail sponsors. All of these groups and individuals are volunteers, except for personnel of the U.S. Forest Service who maintain the 12-mile-long Interloken Trail, one of the FLT System's branch trails. The Finger Lakes Trail Conference, Inc., (FLTC) was organized in 1962 to promote and coordinate the building, maintenance, and protection of the FLT System. The trail system of over 875 miles is located almost equally on private and public land. There are currently over 450 private landowners who allow the trail to be on their land.
Randy's Roost was constructed in 2011 to provide shelter for hikers along the FLT. There are benches, a fire pit, and fire wood. There is even a relief station! Come stay a while, find a nearby cache, and enjoy your visit. Please clean up afterwards! Do not cross private property other than access from the FLT!
Note there is a separate visitors log at this location. This is NOT the cache log book. Feel free to write entries in this log, but to properly log the find you must sign the log in the actual nearby geocache.
Bring your own pen and perhaps a tweezers. Please return the cache to its original hiding location when you are done.
Enter this segment of the FLT at one of the designated parking coordinates.
The hike is about 4 miles round trip from the Sand Pit Rd parking area to GZ and back. There is pretty good elevation change along the way, and parts of it may be muddy depending on the time of year, so wear good shoes and bring water and perhaps a snack. Along the way you might spot some deer, turkeys, and perhaps even a bear!
