My husband, Snowman257, is always looking for a place for a good hike and a place that he can explore. This spring he started to explore the Dishmill Creek area. Every time I turned around he was "Going to head to Dishmill to get a hike in" and every time he would come home telling me about all the great things that he saw. He finally twisted my arm enough for me to go with him and he even talked me into placing a few of the caches in this series. I hope you enjoy the cache and your adventure.
Dishmill Delight 1 will start you on your journey through the Dishmill Creek Valley. The FLT access trail is actually an old road that crossed the creek and continued across the park road and down to the Genesee River called Dygert Rd. The cache will follow this across Dishmill Creek before turning up onto Trail 9 and the ridge that separates the Genesee River Valley from the Dishmill Creek Valley. Snowie calls this Breezy Ridge because every time he is up on this ridge there is a breeze even though the wind may be calm everywhere else.
Cache Details:
You will be looking for a 4 leg multicache located on the east side of Letchworth State Park. Letchworth is open daily from 6am to 11pm. There is no fee to enter this side of the park. See the additional waypoints as there are two places for parking depending on how you attack the caches. I suggest you wear waterproof boots, shoes or sneakers you don't mind getting wet, bring plenty of bug spray (water area = many bugs) and your hiking stick, and have plenty of time. There will be no need to tear apart the surroundings to find any of the legs. All legs are able to be found by a keen observation or noticing that something just is not right. Please make sure all legs are replaced exactly as you find them. The dangerous animals attribute is on the cache page because of the recent bear sightings in the park including a mother and two cubs spotted by Snowman and Blue_stone during a hike this spring. Hunting is allowed on this side of the park. Wear orange during the appropriate times (October thru mid-November). There is an unactivated Travel Bug tag for the FTF.
Most of all, enjoy your time here and look around as there is a lot to see. Remember it's the journey that matters.
