I really didn't want to create this cache because I hear that this whole area is going to be razed in order to build something we don't need in this area ... more housing. I went to a meeting at the local school and the politicians talked about how beneficial it wood be to destroy the woods and fields in this 144-acre lot which is one of the last, privately owned parcels of open space in Nassau County. I asked why they can't just leave the land as is and they couldn't really comprehend the question. The owner of the Islanders bought this lot in 1999 for 23 million and stands to make a great profit on by selling it now. (If you want to see this landowners incredible main residence, visit Sagamore Hill and as you take the east trail down to the beach, look left/north through the fence). Enjoy this cache before it gets bulldozed & archived. I read in the news that Town of Oyster Bay gave the developer their final approval.
Directions to Cache: The Plainview office complex is southwest of where Old Country and Round Swamp Roads meet. Each of those roads has one entrance into the property. Once on the grounds, look for a large centrally located building (Davis Building "G") and you'll find a grass field to the south of the entry door. The easiest way to get to the cache is to walk south on this grass until you come to the wood-line (you will see a soccer field through the trees) Now, make a left and head east to the cache, which is about 30 Yards west of the Taliaferro Estate's main house.
Careful, there is poison ivy as you approach GZ. Insect repellent is a must, as the skeeters as seem to love the dark, damp GZ area. This cache is definitely NOT recommended for night searching )the police told me personally!) Muggles should not be a problem, as you might only see some soccer players and parents off in the distance. Some weekends there may be people that train dogs to run around cones on the north side of the main house. There is a small pencil in the bison tube
* PLEASE put both things that you find "back" the way you found them. If you don't, then the next geocacher will find them exposed, which ruins the fun (and frustration).
