Geocache Description:

This cache is located on the Vassar Farms property, a 527 acre plot right in Poughkeepsie.  The Vassar Farm property has miles of well marked and maintained trails that will take you through woods and fields, past ponds, streams and marshes.  You will be treated to a vast variety of wildlife from deer to beaver, turtles to a multitude of bird species.  We have been given permission to use this area for our game, treat it with respect and enjoy what it has to offer.


This cache is located along the Green trail.  The Sonic Screwdriver is the tool of choice used by the Doctor.  Since he is hesitant to use weapons, the sonic ability of this tool provides him with alternatives to violence.  Every Doctor has his own special screwdriver and it can open locks, repair and operate ship systems and provide information through scans.  It can not work on wood, but you will find plenty of wood where it is hidden.

The Vassar Farm property is open from sunrise to sunset. Coordinates for parking and trailheads can be found on GC54JTT (Little Blue Box) Dogs are allowed and must be leashed. There is a trail map on a kiosk as the main parking area or on their web site at http://farm.vassar.edu/map/ Bikes are allowed, but NOT on the Dark Blue, Green, or Black trails. I wouldn't recommend the use of bikes on the Yellow or Red trails either unless you consider yourself an excellent rider.
