Geocache Description:

This is a 5 leg multi cache. You can park at the Trailside Lodge parking lot to begin your journey!

LSP Permit #73


I have placed this fun multicache to bring attention to the new Letchworth nature Center that was built and opened June 2016. The cache will take you on a hike out around the area where the Nature Center is built. This is a challenging cache that will require careful observation to find each leg and the final. There might be a twist along the way to make things interesting. There is a nice trail to follow for the first 3 legs and the final legs will be near some old cross-country ski trails I have enjoyed over the years.  This cache should be accessible year-round.

Here is a link for further information about this Nature Center; http://www.osiny.org/site/PageNavigator/letchworth_home.html

Here is a brief statement from the above link about this new Nature Center; The addition of the Letchworth Nature Center will allow visitors to delve deeper into the Letchworth story than ever before. The Nature Center will be a four-season venue where everyone can come to appreciate and understand the park’s exceptional beauty, diverse recreational offerings, abundant geological, natural and cultural histories, and its varied ecosystems. Interactive exhibits and programs will help visitors develop their observational skills and guide them to seasonal attractions in the park. For students and teachers, it will serve as a valuable resource for expanded research, education and exploration.

A little about the cache; each leg is unique and no two legs will be the same. The final is a 30 cal. Ammo can. Please be careful to return each leg back to the way I have placed them to make this cache fun and challenging for all those that seek it. I also would like to ask you not to share how these waypoints where hidden with other cachers seeking it, there is much more reward in actually finding a leg than being told where it is, thanks!*I had added a few clues to help you along the way if you get stuck*

NOTE* During the months of October into December, bow hunting for Deer is allowed in this area, so please be aware of hunters possibly in the woods and wear appropriate clothing to alert them of your presence during this time!*

I wish to thank Mr. Roland Beck, Letchworth State Park Manager, for reviewing and approving this cache and for promoting geocaching in Letchworth State Park.
