Old Putnam RR Overlook Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Mooseflex: Hey all, I've decided to archive this cache and remove it.
I've been hearing a lot about geocaching and how it's doing a lot of
damage to ecosystems, because it is basically causing all these people to go off trail and walk back and forth looking for the caches. Since not everyone comes from the same place, basically everyone walks a different line and usually walk back and forth several times until they find the cache. There have been 70 something finds, and most people come in pairs or more. I figure that's at least 130 or so people who have been off trail looking for this cache, so I've decided to remove it.
I may put a new cache in the preserve, but if I do it will be next to an established trail. Geocaching is great fun and an awesome way to find cool new places, but I was saddened to hear about it's negative effects. My next cache will take this into account. Thanks for everyone who's come to find it, don't feel bad, I don't think we've done much damage[:D]

Geocache Description:

This cache is best accessed if you park at the Kitchawan Preserve off of Rt. 134. You can walk along the trail most of the way except the last 50 yards or so.

The cache is in a tupperware container which I spray-painted green. It has a geocaching sticker on the lid. The location has a great view of the Old Putnam RR Bridge and the Croton Resevior, during the fall and winter when all the leaves are down. It is best to access the cache from the trail system at the top of the hill. You can bushwack up from the power lines, but it's not the best way. Please visit this cache's website, for more information, photos and hints. I have just finally uploaded the pictures from the cameras that were in the cache as well.
