Personal protective equipment is recommended - don your plastic jumpsuit, mask, and gloves before venturing in! Or take the risk. If the biohazards don’t get you, the natural hazards might. If you have not suited up and applied bug spray before your caching trip to Schodack Island, a follow-up shower and tick check may help prevent poison ivy and worse. Even if you have taken precautions, please don’t forget the tick check.
This cache is part of the 2024 New York State Saratoga/Capital District Regional Geocache Challenge! The stamp inside this cache is part of the game, and it is not a trade item – please do not take the stamp. There are 72 geocaches hidden within 18 state parks and historic sites in this park region, and geocachers finding 45 or more will be eligible to receive a 2024 NYS Parks centennial commemorative and trackable geocoin. If you are interested in taking the challenge, you can pick up a geocache passport at any of the participating parks and sites or download it at www.nysparks.com.
