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 on the Orange trail.  The Family Slitheen are aliens bent on harvesting the Earth for its scrap value.  They are strictly business when it comes to them making money and they don't care about the indiginous species that are in the way.  They were exiled from their home planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius for these practices.  After setting their sights on the Earth, they set about taking over positions of power by replacing people of power with their family members.  They look nothing like humans, so they wear their skin like suits.  Because of their large size, they have to wear compression field collars to fit in the skins of those that they kill.  The Doctor avoids the destruction of the Earth by killing or capturing the family. 

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.
