Geocache Description:

Located a short distance from the picnic area atop the plateau in Westcott Park.

Two days ago while visiting my Sister in Sackets Harbor I decided to take a hike around some of the trails in Westcott Park.   Drove to the top and parked by the trail head, got out, grabbed my backpack out of the trunk and headed down the trail.  It's unbelievable all the deer tracks, looks more like our barn yard used to back when we raised sheep.  Well, anyhow I'm meandering down the trail enjoying all the fresh snow when I rounded a corner and there he was, a deer standing not 40 feet from me.  Well we stared at each other for a while but before I could sneak my camera out he's gone like a flash.  While putting my camera back into the backpack I realized why the thing was so heavy, there was still a 35 cal. ammo can full of goodies.  I was going to place it on my last trip but got rained out.  While I was repacking everything back into the backpack I could hear a faint whistling noise.  I tried to ignore it but it keep getting louder and louder, closer and closer until I could see it.  NO it can't be, rubbed my eyes, HOLY CRAP, there's thousands of them and they are coming straight at me.  Don't even try to tell me there's no such thing as UFO's because I saw thousands of them that night.  I was so scared I dropped the ammo box and ran, I ran as fast as I could.  Finally I made it back to the car and as I drove away I took the picture you see below.

 

To this day that ammo can is still up there with a log book and a bunch of goodies in it.  If you would like to go find the ammo can, to trade goodies or what ever, do so at your own risk but I've been told the UFO's usually only visit that area between December and March.  Should you decide to brave it the park entrance is at N43° 54.200  W076° 07.168 and the above photo was taken at N43° 53.534  W76° 06.922.

Good Luck and now I think I'll go watch "My Favorite Martian".
