Geocache Description:


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 sprinkled a few spooky caches along the trail to make up for it. Parents and tender hearts never fear, this "Trail of Terror" is very much family friendly.

Some awful chopping happened here, but the chainsaws are long gone and the woods peaceful again. Electric Fact: Edmond Michel developed the first electric handsaw in what year?
