Geocache Description:


The posted coordinates are not for the cache.  However, they can be used for parking near the trailhead.

This cache is for Tara.  She was our 4 year old German Shepherd who passed away this past spring after a long illness.  This cache is placed in the Bahar Preserve, part of the Finger Lakes Land Trust, permit # Bahar-01. Tara loved to go just about anywhere, but she especially loved geocaching. This was the last place she came while hale and healthy.  To find the coordinates, unscramble the following words which were often used to describe Tara during her short but full life:

N42 AB.CDE   W076 FG.HIJ

LFEDRIYN   (A= 6th letter)      

SSUICETNIHAT    (B= 7th letter)

TFIUBALEU    (C= 1st letter)

FNYNU   (D= 1st letter)

CHAETLIT   (E= 8th letter)

PHYAP  (F= 2nd letter)

ETSEW   (G= 1st letter)

LEARCGUF   (H= 1st letter)

MTRAS   (I =4th letter)

GBI   (J= 1st letter)

Parking for the Bahar Preserve is at N42 49.069 W76 19.819

If you want a longer walk, you can start at the Carpenter's Falls trailhead, which can be found at N42 48.812 W76 20.461  The two parks (Carpenter's Falls and Bahar Preserve) are adjacent to each other.

I have made the terrain rating 4 because the last 400 or so feet are quite steep and if you walk this trail when it is wet or icy it could be treacherous.  Please take care.  The cache is an ammo box filled with dog toys.

Please be mindful that this is a sensitive area and the FLLT would like visitors to stay on trails and to keep dogs leashed. For more information about the Finger Lakes Land Trust, visit https://www.fllt.org/

Thank you for reading about Tara!
