Blatnick Park Cache Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

iwhitman2055: This one had a good run, but I realized that a change was needed. A new Blatnick Park cache has been placed with new locations. Most of the trade items (including the travel bug from this cache are in it.)

Geocache Description:

Blatnick Park, located on River Rd in Niskayuna, is home to several baseball fields, tennis courts, a skateboard park, and a driving range.  It is also a good location for radio control slope soaring.  Now, it contains a reasonably challenging multicache.


Part 1 is not a container at all; on it is written a pair of three digit numbers. (I hope Sharpies are really permanent.) Be stealthy; it is in a very public area.

Part 2 is a 50 caliber ammo can in a wooded and unused portion of the park.  The degrees and whole number minutes of its coordinates match part 1.  The fractional minutes, in thousandths, of its coordinates are the two three digit numbers (latitude, longitude) found in Part 1. 

There is really no path to the final, and what has been the "best way" in the past has become overgrown. So, scout around and choose your own way.

Caution: Keep your eyes open as you near the final coordinates.  Part 2 is quite close to a tree from which some barbed wire extends.
