Geocache Description:


 For your protection and the protection of others, please use gloves and/or hand sanitizer before and after handling each cache.

This Cache is placed as part of the 2021 Taconic Region Geocaching Challenge. Please see OL 1 for more information.  This cache contains a unique stamp which must stay with the cache.  Use this stamp to mark your passport.  This stamp is NOT a trade item. 

The roads at Olana ascend steep hillsides or veer close to a precipice or to water, for dramatic effect. North Road is the switch back road where Frederic Church used white donkeys from Syria to carry guests on donkey carts. No carts today. You’ll need to hoof it.

While checking out the cache, also check out the picture of Frederic Church’s “Winter Sunset from Olana” done around 1871-2 inside. However, please leave it in the cache and do not take it with you.

You are looking for a large lock-n-lock.
