Geocache Description:

The Town of Shandaken website refers to the town as "our little jewel here in the heart of the Catskills". This cache is another in a series that will give the phrase meaning in the form of Geocaching


This is a mystery cache, THERE IS NO CACHE AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. Repeat - there is no cache at the posted coordinates.

This is my first attempt at art, I hope you enjoy it. This is #22 of the series. The others will follow over the next couple weeks and will take you to many out of the way corners of Shandaken

It is up to you , the geocache hunter, to decide to wait for the whole series or go for each as they get published. Can you guess the art will be?

To get the last three digits of the North and West coords you need to solve this word search and find the hidden message. The coords start with: N 42° 07.____ W 074° 22.____

I have rated the difficulty a 3 due to being a puzzle cache and the evil final hide. I would be willing to alter that based on feedback if folks think it is unfair. Also, I rated the terrain a 1.5 due to the hide's final resting spot.

Please bring a pen and extraction tool! No sign, no logging!

Good Luck and Cache On!
