The Inkwell: Time to let this one go. This part of the park can get pretty dumpy. Thanks to all who have visited over the years. Hard to believe we placed this one almost 10 years ago!

Geocache Description:


This is a micro cache located in Bond Lake Park, in Lewiston, NY. The cache was once a micro container, but was upgraded to a small camo'd tupperware container due to a ton of DNFs.

You'll find this micro near Rainbow Lake; one of the seven lakes in Bond Lake Park. The parking area for this cache is located on Black Nose Springs Road. You can park in the parking area, or hike to this cache from any of the other caches in the park. Like most caches in this region, there is a fair amount of poison ivy in the area. However, we were able to avoid it while placing the cache. I would suggest that people wear long pants when going after this one, just to be on the safe side.

Local folklore states that both the road and lake are haunted. In the late 1700's, the Seneca occupants of the area had a disagreement with a group of white settlers. It’s said that the settlers were killed; their bodies thrown in this small lake. Over the years, drivers have reported ghostly figures in their rearview mirrors while traveling on the road. Odd sounds have also been heard, as if someone were tapping or running alongside their cars. I'm not sure how much truth there is to this story. We didn't have any ghostly encounters while placing the cache. I can only hope that everyone else is so lucky :)

Good luck and happy caching! :)
