Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Oatka Creek Park, near Scottsville, NY, and replaces the original Gypsum Mine cache, which was stolen in October, 2002.

The cache is placed not far from the original site, but in a less travelled area. The gypsum mine theme is retained, since it is less than 180 feet from the remains of an old mine building that still contains some artifacts of the late 19th to early 20th century mine operations.

The cache consists of a .30 cal ammo box, painted black, and the initial contents include some bungee cords, a nature sounds CD, a couple of Matchbox cars, a tape measure/level tool, some other doodads, and of course, a logbook. The box is well concealed in an open wooded area.

If you select a souvenir of your visit, please exchange it for an item of similar value, so following visitors will find something worthwhile trading for.

Please replace the cache exactly as found, well concealed in the same spot, with as little disturbance to the surrounding area as possible, to maintain its natural appearance.
