This is a multi-part cache placed by RobN Hood and me. In addition to the normal geocaching equipment, bring a pencil and paper. You'll be taken on a hike through one of the many New York State parks, learn a bit about the area and enjoy some great views. Don't forget your camera!
The cache is a 50 cal. ammo can filled with a variety of goodies. Sign the logbook to tell others what you thought of your visit. There is an admission fee to one part of the park, but if you start your quest at N43 22.221 and W78 28.507, you can park for free (note that your hike may be longer due to bridge construction on a trail).
Step 1: Put on your walking shoes, mark the coordinates of your car and head to N43 22.417, W78 28.894. Record the width of the lake in miles and the volume of the lake in cubic miles. Snap a few photos and move onward.
Width in miles ________ Volume in cubic miles __________
(Due to vandalism I will give you the answers until the signs are replaced - 53 miles wide and 393 cubic miles. You can still check out the great view from these coordinates)
Step 2: The next stop is at N43 22.490, W78 29.167. Take some time, look around at this de-light ful spot and record the age, in the year 1941, of the most prominant building in the area.
Age in years _________________
Step 3: Your last clue is at N43 22.322, W 78 29.118. When you get there record the number of butterflies you see with the 12 plants.
Number of butterflies ________________
(Due to vandalism I will give you the answer until the signs are replaced - 1 butterfly)
Step 4: Here is where the pencil and paper come in. Take the starting coordinate of N43 22.221. To the last three numbers (221), subtract the width of the lake in miles, then add the number of butterflies.
Record the answer here: N43 22.___ ___ ___
From the starting coordinate of W78 28.507, take the last three numbers (507), add the age of the building in 1941, then add that number to the volume of the lake in cubic miles.
Record the answer here: W78 28.___ ___ ___
Step 5: Go find the cache!
