Geocache Description:

**You will require a Safety pin or toothpick to get the Log!!**

A magnetic nano bison on a diverse city street.

I don't want you to poke around for too long as I do not want to attract negative attention to this spot.

It is low to the ground and right of the gate. Reach from sidewalk.

You can park briefly right in front of GZ.


One of my work sites (house) is directly across the street from this cache.  You will not enter the cemetery for this. The graveyard stretches the width of the block from Watson to Waverly, and you could blink and miss this small Semitic cemetery set among close-set houses of the 1900's to 1910's.

The Jewish community of Utica dates back to the middle 1800's, and then many Polish immigrants settled the blocks immediately surrounding this graveyard at the time these houses were built. Many of their descendents still live in the vicinity, alongside many groups of newcomers.

Edit: I changed the name around so it began with a "Z", if there is ever an "alphabet soup challenge" around here, this will help with that elusive Z.
