Go-Won-Go Mohawk's Cabin Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

New York Admin: This cache should have been permitted years ago and I thank the park manager has been very generous and patient in waiting for the cache owner to apply for a geocaching permit. I am archiving this cache today for lack of proper maintenance. Yes, obtaining a permit as required by the land manager is as much a part of cache maintenance as replacing a wet logbook.

If the cache owner applies for and obtains the proper permit from the park office AND if DPT confirms the permit number to me I'll be glad to unarchive the cache providing it fits within the current guidelines.

How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

This is a two-part cache hidden in Chenango Valley State Park. The first cache is only a short distance from the parking area (N42deg 12.767' W075deg 49.891'). The second is more of a hike, about 3 miles round trip so be prepared with good boots, water etc... Tree cover may also present a challenge especially in the summer.

The first cache contains the coordinates and parking suggestion for the second cache along with some small "I love New York" goodies. The second is hidden deep within the park's northern mountain biking trails, which are great for both biking and hiking. There's a good chance that you'll see some wildlife like pileated woodpeckers and the ever-popular chipmunk.

For an extra challenge during your visit try to answer this question: "Who was Go-Won-Go Mohawk and what does the name mean?" E-mail me at dendroica@stny.rr.com to confirm your answer.

The park does charge admission during the summer months. Go to http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/ for more contact info.

Happy searching!
