This cache can be found along the unfinished portion of the Erie Canalway Trail system. Finding the container requires a bit of bushwacking, but isn't too far off of the path.
The Erie Canalway Trail system is composed of 360 miles of mostly flat trail and road segments that run from Buffalo to Albany. Surfaces may include gravel, asphalt or dirt. Here in Pendleton, you will find all surfaces, and this cache is located in it's most natural environment. Interactive maps and information can be found at https://www.ptny.org/cycle-the-erie-canal
You do not need to remove the container to access the log. Please do not try. Tweezers and a log roller might be helpful, and please bring your own writing utensil!

Congrats to Bullseyeshooter with Heart Zap for being the FTF!
