Bushnellsville
Bushnellsville on Route 42 was named for the Bushnell family, who settled the valley in the mid-1800’s. By the early 1900’s, there were many farms in the area; most families kept at least one cow and many shipped apples and sold maple syrup. At that time, the hamlet had its own Post Office, several general stores, a cider mill, ice houses and even a bowling alley. Supplies were delivered from Phoenicia once a week by horse and wagon.
OK - in order to get a good hide we had to go a little past the Shandaken Town line, but it is still Bushnellsville!
Please park on the side road and do not stop on Route 42.
The cache is a pre-form soda bottle. The GPS was only able to get about a 30' accuracy rating, so if you get better coordinates, please let us know. However, the spot should be fairly obvious to a geocacher.
