Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates at the top of this page.  This is a mystery or puzzle cache that you must solve to find the actual coordinates of the physical cache location.  

Stephen King has arrived to CNY!!!  I have been eyeing this railroad bed trail for some time and why not dedicate it to one of my favorite authors.  The trail runs a little over 5 miles from start of cache placement to end of cache placement with a total of 42 caches in this series. The railroad bed trail intersects 6 roads(Swamp, Toad Harbor, Depot, Wheeler, Lower, and Rt. 49).  Parking off of Depot Rd is the best spot for parking.  BYOP and stay off posted land.  Please return logs back into their straws, secure the cap, and return where found for other cachers to enjoy.
