Geocache Description:


I have also seen rollerblading, and skateboarding too.  People powered only please!  

The bike path can sometimes get very busy, especially on nice days, and on weekends. Bikers at times, will travel fast, and there are pedestrians on the paved path enjoying a nice nature walk.  Pets are welcomed, on leashes, and should be kept on the right, by the grass. Young and old, we all share this green space so use good judgement and common sense. Bikers will pass you on your left, so be aware!  
 

If you're lucky, you might find some rabbits on the path early morning, or late afternoon.  I have also seen chipmunks, and turtles near the water.  
 

The requirements to find this cache is as follows.

.  Go to the virtual coordinates listed under waypoints, which is N40 42..244  W73;.27.108.   This will take you to Linden St. There is parking on the side of the road, and it can be busy at times.  If you prefer, there is also parking at Walker Park also known as Mansfield Park. Parking address is 85 Walker Ave.  Parking coordinates are listed for Walker Park as an option.  .  
 

At these coordinate, on Linden St.,  look for a sign post.  Look for a large white sign, with blue letters, and orange highlights.  There are orange letters at top which will say NASSAU COUNTY. It shows a name, initials, P.J.S.  Now that you found the sign, you will be interested in the bottom line, which says Dedicated on Month UV, WXYZ. Some simple math will be used.  Coordinates are as follows  N40 AB.CDE   W73 FG.HIJ

*** Plug in the numbers for north coordinates to N40 AB.CDE   

A=Month 

B=Y

C=X

D=V

E=X

 

West coordinates W73 FG.HIJ

 

F= W

G=V

H=V-U

I=X

J=Z


Happy Caching!
