Geocache Description:

Cache is in SUNY-ESF's Heiberg Memorial Forest. This is a day-use only area. Directions to the forest: Take I 81. Take the Tully exit and follow 80E/11S. Continue following 11S by turning right onto State Street. Turn left onto Onondaga Street. Turn Right onto Grove Street (immediately cross RR tracks). This street is a long, curvy street that goes uphill. Follow it to about 300 feet past the top of the hill. Turn Right onto Maple Ridge. You are now entering Heiberg Forest.

Please Read: We have been given permission to hide this cache. It is with the understanding that it is on ESF property, where ongoing environmental research is being done. We have been asked to please be careful of all plant and animal life in this area. DO NOT TAKE OR MOVE ANYTHING Some studies may be conducted in this forest, and the area must stay as natural as possible. Please do not remove anything in the area, as some things that may not look 'natural' may in fact be part of an experiment. Likewise, when you find the cache, please place it back just as you found it.

There are things about this cache that you will understand once you get there....This is one of 2 caches hidden in Heiberg Forest. We recommend that you do this cache last, at sunset if possible. This is a memorial cache, of sorts. In the cache is a book that is not for trading. If you have the time, you can take the book to one of the nearby benches, and spend a little time of reflection. Items to bring cheer or comfort have been put into the cache. If you can keep with that theme, it would be appreciated. Don’t plan to do this cache on June 21 or December 21 at sunset. An area close by is a special place of reflection for several people on these dates. This is a traditional cache, placed in a rubbermaid container. There is a beautiful view here. Nearby is a pavilion with picnic tables. If you come alone, or in a group, this would be a nice place to take a picnic. The only drawback is there are no rest rooms... you would have to travel back to Rt. 11, which is about a 5 minute drive.This cache can be easily removed without disturbing its surrounding hiding place. Please take it out carefully and replace well covered. We hope you enjoy this area as much as we do.
