Geocache Description:


Just to the south of where this cache is hidden lies a set of train tracks.  Living in the area, Sarbara and I assumed that these tracks were inactive.  While helping a neighbor clean up from the storm last November, we were informed that the tracks actually are active, but just barely.  Given that at the time we'd lived here for two years and had seen nary a thing, we didn't believe it.

One winter morning, as we left early for work, we spotted a small train, just a few cars, on the tracks.  It was kind of a "blink and you miss it" experience.  I decided that the train is our Brigadoon; it only shows up once every hundred years.  While you stop to get this cache, take a look at the tracks to the south to maybe catch a glimpse of our Brigadoon (but probably not since it hasn't been 100 years yet!).

While parking on Commerce Parkway seems like the most obvious choice, parking at the loop of Wren Ave/E. Drullard Ave lends some extra stealth. 

Nothing too crazy for FTF, just a few handmade "puffy guys" that I like to make out of fabric scraps and googly eyes.

Also: this is my first cache.  Any feedback is appreciated. 

Congrats to Cayuga Crew for another FTF (less than an hour after publication). ;)
