Geocache Description:


Welcome to the 2024 Taconic Region NYS Park Summer Geocaching Challenge Please see WOTH 1 for details about the challenge.

After the railroad abandoned the bridge, there were more than a few ideas on how to use the structure, including using the structure to build condos literally over the Hudson River.  Eventually, Pleasant Valley attorney and bicycle enthusiast Fred Schaeffer stepped in, leading the various groups with a common goal.  Read about the history here from Hudson Valley Magazine.  https://hvmag.com/archive/walkway-over-the-hudson-a-history/

About this cache:  Update 11/4  This cache has taken a beating this summer.  It has been replaced with a preform at gz.  If you are in need of the stamp, it is in a separate container nearby.   Thanks for visiting.
