Geocache Description:


Welcome to BAW BEESE SAIL GEOART. You must answer the question to get the coordinates. 


The series is along the Baw Beese Walking Trail which is also a part of the North Country Trail system.  
Parking is found at the corner of Griswold and Barnard Streets and in the three public parks along the shoreline.  The three parks are Waterworks Park, Owens Park, and Sandy Beach. Sometimes a fee is charged to enter Sandy Beach. 

Be a good player and BRING YOUR PEN 🖊️.  Also, a tool of the trade may be helpful.

Baw  Beese Lake has a rich history and we'll take a moment to discover a little.  Let's think about boys'  fashion of 1890-1910. What would describe boys swimsuits of that era?

A).  Boys wore knee length trunks with sleeved shirts to swim in. N 41 53.733 W 84 35.456

OR

B).   Boys wore polka dotted shorts and polka dotted socks to swim in. N 10 66.576 W 11 66.993
