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. 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. This one has a clear lid. Pictures of a canal map and the logo for the celebration can be seen through the sides of the container.
Some information about what the West Shore Blvd is all about:
A peaceful, quiet section of the canal trail. Further east I saw a bench to sit on and relax. I placed this cache after parking at Harder Park and taking a stroll down the path. Saw a trio of muggle fishermen on a boat - perhaps grandpa, son and grandson. Please don't park on West Shore as there's not much of a shoulder. Plus you may have to go through poison ivy to get to Ground Zero.
