THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. It is placed along the newly opened Albany-Hudson Electric Trail.
The Albany-Hudson Electric Trail follows the path of the electric trolley line that connected Albany to Hudson from 1899 to 1929. It runs from Rensselaer through East Greenbush, Nassau, the village of Nassau and Schodack in Rensselaer County into Columbia County where it traverses Chatham, Kinderhook, the villages of Valatie and Kinderhook, Stuyvesant, Stockport, Greenport and arrives in Hudson. Details are available on the trail website at www.ahettrail.org.
As cursed year 2020 draws to a close, and Halloween in confinement didn't deliver the thrills and chills it normally would, I placed a few spooky caches to make up for it. Parents and tender hearts never fear, this "Trail of Terror" is very much family friendly. Nothing sinister about this one, it's just lurking where it doesn't belong.
Electric Fact: The basic principles of electricity generation were discovered during the 1820s and early 1830s by the British scientist Michael Faraday. His method is still used today: electricity is generated by the movement of a loop of wire, or disc of copper, between the poles of a magnet.
To find the cache, go to N 42° 25.110' W 73° 40.X5X' where X is the last digit of the year Michael Faraday died.
