This is the 1st multi cache of a series of caches for Cattaraugus Creek. It utilizes 2 ammo boxes, two parking areas and an alternate parking area if needed. This multi cache consists of one letterbox hybrid cache and one traditional cache. The listed cache coordinates are for the first cache box. We strongly suggest that you park at these coordinates to start your adventure. PARKING N42°28.522 W078°40.597. Under no circumstances will you have to enter the Country Club for any reason!! There are several ways to the parking coordinates using the backroads. Good Luck..
If for some reason you decide not to venture to the cache as mentioned above, relax, there is an ALTERNATE route to the first cache box. Unfortunately it entails a four-mile round trip. Fortunately it is very flat and straightforward. ALTERNATE PARKING: N42°30.418 W078°40.649. Look for the EXEMPT to start your alternate journey.
The 1st part of this multi cache is a .30 caliber ammo box containing a letterbox hybrid cache and token slips with the coordinates for the final parking area and find. The
final cache is a .50 caliber ammo box containing the traditional cache treasures and logbook.
Letterboxing is a much older treasure hunt game that originated in Great Britain.
Rather than exchanging treasures you will need to bring a unique rubber stamp to exchange images with the cache. Use your stamp in the cache logbook when you log your find. Then use the cache stamp in your own logbook. The idea is to carry a letterbox logbook and stamp to exchange and collect images from all around! You can make your own stamp by carving an eraser or you can buy one at a stamping or craft store. Under no circumstances should you ever leave anything in a letterbox hybrid cache. The rubber stamp, inkpad and logbook items should not be taken but left in this box for future letterbox hybrid cachers.
Cattaraugus Creek is the largest of the four primary watercourses that forms the southern boundary of the Village of Springville in the Town of Concord, draining a portion of southwest Erie County before flowing into Lake Erie.
Getting to the first cache box is interesting to say the least. Let us also say that this approach may not be for everyone! WARNING IF YOU ARE TAKING CHILDREN ON THIS FIRST PART, WE SUGGEST THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THE POTENIAL FOR SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH WHICH COULD RESULT WITHOUT THE GUIDANCE OF A RESPONSIBLE ADULT. All in all this is a safe trek of which we have done straight down the middle many times before. We must also mention that once you get near the 1st cache box that you do not venture to the Southwest, as this is a private country club golf course.
Part 2 of this cache takes on a whole new view. Please trade treasures, read the log intro, sign the logbook and enjoy the area!
