Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

This is an ammo box located near the nature trail and overlook of the Vestal Rail Trail. Please take some time to use the overlook while you are here. On the day I placed the cache the view was beautiful but climbing the overlook is not required to claim the cache.


To solve:

  1. Work out how to approach the cache location. There are parking lots at the three main entrances and street parking at the "back door."
  2. Go to the location listed above. The puzzle cannot be solved without information available at the listed location.
  3. Solve the puzzle:
    XXXXXXX XX ABCDE FGHIJK LMNOPQRSTU VWYZ
    N 42 05.LEP  W 076 01.KWR
  4. Go to the new location and sign the log! There are several entrances to the final location; some of them may be wet at certain times of the year.
  5. Please leave the cache box well hidden. Cachers are not the only users of these woods.

To match the nature trail, the box is iniitially stocked with birds, water animals, and a couple of glow in the dark bracelets. Please make family friendly trades.

Sorry folks, town rules specify no alcohol, no loitering, no sunset to sunrise caching, and only two dogs per cacher, on a four foot leash.

It may not help those solving the puzzle in the field, but here is a check link for the final location:
