The Schodack Island State Park staff get a kick out of watching geocachers search out the hide near the office. This year you will be looking near the bench, but not on the bench; near the side door, but not on the side door. This is one of the challenge caches, but it holds a non-standard stamp. Follow the instructions in the container to mark your passport.
This cache is part of the 2022 New York State Saratoga/Capital District Regional Geocache Challenge! The stamp inside this cache is part of the game, and it is not a trade item – please do not take the stamp. There are 72 geocaches hidden within 18 state parks and historic sites in this park region, and geocachers finding 45 or more will be eligible to receive a 2022 Peebles Island State Park commemorative and trackable geocoin. If you are interested in taking the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites or download it at parks.ny.gov.
