Geocache Description:


ECALT Bonus: Exploring Port Gibson - Erie Canal

This cache is not at the posted coordinates!  

This is a bonus cache to my ECALT Adventure Lab: Exploring Port Gibson.  I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to add an adventure lab to the Erie Canal Adventure Lab Trail.  It is a 10 stop adventure lab, taking you to some special spots in and around Port Gibson NY, along the Erie Canal, between Palmyra and Newark.  

You will obtain the coords for this mystery bonus while completing the Adventure Lab.  The final is a bison now, so no room for swag.  Bring your own pen.  I was granted permission to place this cache by the land owner, Dawn. 

As always, all my caches are music themed... This one is named after the song Erie Canal by Bruce Springsteen.  Erie Canal is a traditional American song.  Bruce Springsteen recorded the song with the Seeger Sessions Band and released it on his 2006 album.  In my opinion, it is a well done version.      

Thank you to the Ontario County Historical Society for some of the photos used to create my lab adventure and thank you to all the people who have worked hard to make the Erie Canal Adventure Lab Trail.  I learned a lot about the area creating my AL and also completing others.  I especially want to thank Nancy from the Deadliest Cachers, who has organized much of this project and who was extremely patient with me.
