I love to go hiking. Ithaca has so many great places, both in town and farther out, but I keep getting drawn to Six Mile Creek for some reason. One of the first caches I found in Ithaca was Tofu Shake/Team Ferret's cache "We won't make you go six miles". While it was a great cache, I left thinking, "but I do want to go six miles...". Hopefully some of you will agree with me and will enjoy this six mile/six cache series!
This series is comprised of six caches spaced out along a hiking route in Six Mile Creek and along the South Hill Recreation Way. For more information about this series, including parking information and the first part of this hike, please see Cache #1: GC6GF89.
Directions for Cache #2
After finding Cache #1: GC6GF89, return to the trail. Keep following the blue blazes north. When you get to the sign for the watershed area, (marked with a waypoint) go left down the hill. This cache is then placed approximately 40 feet off the trail and is a small camo'ed lock'n'lock, measuring approximately 1.5"x1.5"x1". You will find it approximately 1.45 miles into your hike. This cache should be able to be accessed in the winter without a problem. After finding this cache, return to the trail and continue to Cache #3: GC6GF91.
