Geocache Description:


You are looking for a small cache at Hudson Highland State Park - Little Stony Point.  For details regarding the Taconic Region Geocaching Challenge, please see HH #1 Washburn Trail. 

*** Please note that the area is full of poison ivy -- please dress accordingly ***

Pete Seeger was a singer, song writer, environmentalist and activist.  A prolific song writer, he wrote  Where Have All the Flowers Gone? (c.1962), If I Had a Hammer (c.1962), and Turn! Turn! Turn! (c.1965), all of which have been covered by a number of singers.  

In 1966, Pete and his wife Toshi founded the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, a non-profit organization based in Poughkeepsie that sought to protect the Hudson River and surrounding wetlands and waterways. It constructed a floating ambassador for this environmental mission, the sloop Clearwater, and began an annual music and environmental festival, today known as the Great Hudson River Revival.

In 1984 Pete helped found the Little Stony Point Citizen’s Association, dedicated to the safe enjoyment and preservation of Little Stony Point, part of the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve. This Association was the first of now over 30 “Friends” groups that support New York State Parks to keep beautiful areas like this one open to the public.  Info from Wikipedia and LSPCA website.
