Geocache Description:

Medium difficulty cache located along the Brooklyn shoreline

Caches are few and far between in Brooklyn. In the southern part of Brooklyn there are practically none. Caching is not big here, and most of the visits are by cachers from out of town. My first cache, Bergen BeachCombing went quite lonely for periods of time as cachers set their sites on areas where there were multiple caches. Seeing this, I have provided a companion cache to keep my first cache from getting lonely and to persuade others to come to this part of Brooklyn.

The cache is just off of a beach in a quiet family oriented neighborhood. While not the French Riviera, the beach is fairly clean by NY standards. On summer weekends, the area can be crowded. On cooler weekdays, the place will be quiet. The cache is a short walk and there is parking nearby on the street, but park legally. You can also come by boat and park on the beach. Or, get this - the B31 bus will take you right there!

Space in the cache is a little tight, so leave those large items home.

It is absolutely crucial that you use available natural items to completely cover the cache container. Make sure that rain and wind cannot remove the stuff you use to cover up the cache. Spend some time walking around the cache and make sure you cannot see it at all. Keeping the the cache well hidden is the secret to a long cache life!

If I learn that a finder left the cache in a compromised state, I will remove that finder's log.

Enjoy your visit to the beach and nearby Marine Park!
