Woodstock Dam P&G Traditional Cache

This nano cache is placed in view of the Woodstock Dam. A place where people used to be able to swim and hangout until relentless littering and dissrespecting the waterway led to all access points being closed off in July 2018. Because of this, there is no parking, but the shoulder is big enough to stop for a few minutes. This cache shouldn't take too long. Happy caching and enjoy the view!

"Woodstock started out with great promise for the future, being the oldest settlement of any size in the town of Cairo, when James Barker, known as “The Patroon,” settled here with his tenantry of 23 families shortly before the Revolution. The Barker Patent covered 6,000 acres of land and extended from Woodstock nine miles north to the town of Durham, on both side of the Katskill. In 1800 the Woodstock and Durham turnpike was built, passing through the little village, and a bridge built by Canton Bridge Company. This bridge in 1810 broke down with a drove of cattle, 20 of which were killed. The bridge was rebuilt the same year, and twice washed away by high water."
