This cache is located in Trail Town USA, aka Perinton. It's located along the Crescent Trail, a 26 mile long footpath winding through wooded hills and scenic wetlands (wear boots). The cache is a 30 cal ammo box with room for small trade items.
Parking is available at N43° 03.171 W077° 27.829. There are ten caches in this series. The first nine caches each contain one of nine badges you’ll earn as you improve your outdoor skills. Once you have found them, you'll have the information you need to find the final cache and earn the Geocaching Merit Badge.
When you find this cache, note the letter and number assigned to that badge. You’ll need that information to decode the location of the final cache.
To earn the badge, answer the following questions. If you get stuck, you'll find the answers in the cache.
1. How many feet are in a mile?
2. The Appalachian Trail goes from __________ to ____________?
3. What do you call the markers that show where a trail is?
