Geocache Description:

When we placed this one, we were accompanied by a Flicker (woodpecker) who was very tame and rode around on my shoulder. We left him sitting on a stump near the cache.
A fairly easy cache in the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center on Wellesley Island. The cache is lightly stocked and is an ammo can. NYSOPRHP Permit Number 7WENC Exp 7-10-07

The difficulty for terrain is based on the most direct route to the cache. If you take the scenic route, it increases the difficulty slightly bacause of some rock scrambling.
This cache is located in the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center of Wellesley Island State Park.
Some basic rules of the park are:
1) No bicycles or motor vehicles are allowed on the trails,
2) Please stay on the trails (no bushwacking), do not stray from the paths, (none of these will take you near or over an edge),
3) This is a carry-in/carry out park,
4) Dogs must be on a 6 ft leash and have proof of current rabies vaccination,
5) All caches are within 20' of trails.

Trail Hours are Dawn to Dusk
Minna Anthony Common Nature Center Museum Hours are 10 am-4 pm. A log book will be established in the Nature Center Museum for Geocachers. Ask at the desk and leave your comments if you wish.

There is a $6-7 park entrance fee from around Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. There is also a $2 toll for the 1000 Islands Bridge for anyone not living on Wellesley Island.

Please stop by the Nature Center Museum. It is free and there is a lot of information about the area and a hands on room for an added adventure.
