Geocache Description:


This cache is located along the Auburn Railroad section of the Victor Hiking Trails. The trails you will be walking on are the former Auburn and Rochester Railroad system. Trail parking is available at the Fishers Fire Department or at the trailhead on Fishers Road. This is also a nice trail for biking. 

If you continue about 500 feet west of gz you will see a mural in progress located on the wall of a Thruway overpass. I placed this cache to bring more awareness to this mural, as it was started 3 years ago and I only recently learned about it. I checked with the mural artist and Victor Hiking Trails before placing it and they both loved the idea. I wanted to place it closer to the mural, however another cache was nearby so that's why it's about 500 feet from the mural. ***The cache is just off the trail. No need to go down any embankments. Please replace exactly as found to hopefully keep it from being muggled. Thank you***

Below is a link to an article about the mural, which is a community art project.

If you would like to help paint, artist Emily Waldman will be painting a few more times mostly on weekends however she is unavailable this summer and plans to resume the painting in the Fall of 2016. When painting is in progress there will be a sign at the trailhead on Main St. Fishers and once there you can ask her to add your name to an email address that will alert you when community painting sessions are being held. 

There is a Lehigh Valley Railroad model train car for FTF. (I couldn't locate an Auburn Railroad model train car, but the Lehigh Valley Railroad is also local). The cache container is a 30 cal plastic ammo can that I stocked with train-related items.
