This Cache is placed as part of the New York State Park Saratoga/Capital District Regional Geocache Challenge. There are 60 geocaches hidden within 18 state parks and historic sites in this parks region, and geocachers finding 40 or more will be eligible to enter their names in a drawing for valuable prizes. The first 75 people to find 40 or more caches will receive a special geocache challenge coin. If you are interested in trying the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites or download it at www.nysparks.com
This cache contains a unique stamp which must stay with the cache. Use this stamp to mark your passport. This stamp is NOT a trade item. Some of the items in the cache are park souvenirs and do not need to be replaced with a trade item.
A nice sunny day last November the new manager and I decided to meet up in order to see if we could dig up all the caches placed for the 2014 challenge. There was a cache located near to the spot where this new one has been placed. But last fall we just could not come up with the find. We found all the others in the park but not this one. No matter where we looked the cache wouldn’t turn up. Even though we wizened up to the hint and scared up a bunch of bugs, the cache remained hidden. We actually had to rely on another geocacher to retrieve it for us.
