This is one of a dozen or so geocaches that is on/near the Erie Canal in Wayne County which is celebrating the canal's 200th anniversary this year. Caches will be placed in Macedon, Palmyra, Port Gibson, Newark/Arcadia, Lyons and Clyde (Galen).
Caches is this series will be regular size food storage containers, but this one is smaller! and the hides are not supposed to be tricky, but this one is more tricky! See the hint if you want... We are encouraging new cachers to start caching and experienced cachers to learn more about and visit the Erie Canal in Wayne County. Message the cache owner for help if needed.
Anyone who logs this find, or another one in this series, by August 15th will be eligible for a grand prize relating to the Erie Canal. Other smaller prizes are also being talked about being given the week of the Wayne County Fair, August 4th - 10th, 2025.
The cache containers are plastic Rubbermaid food storage containers with a red lid. But this one is a pill bottle with a red lid. The logo for the canal celebration is on the pill bottle.
If you find this, you are inches away! Hope to see some nice photos while you are visiting!
