The 1st three caches in the TIBA Series are located in this same area. You may encounter some soggy soil since ground-zero is located near the water. There is also the chance of crossing thorns and poison ivy, but these were not too bad on the day this cache was placed in late September. Please be prepared and have fun!

Chef George Crum accidently created these salty snacks in 1853 at Moon's Lake House near Saratoga Springs, New York. Fed up with a customer who continuously sent his fried potatoes back, complaining that they were soggy and not crunchy enough, Crum sliced the potatoes as thin as possible, fried them in hot grease, then doused them with salt. The customer loved them and "Saratoga Chips" quickly became a popular item at the lodge and throughout New England. Eventually, Potato Chips were mass-produced for home consumption, but since they were stored in barrels or tins, they quickly went stale. In the 1920s, Laura Scudder invented the airtight bag by ironing together two pieces of waxed paper, keeping the chips fresh longer (by the Editors at Publications International, Ltd).
