Directions:
Step 1.) Coordinates above are for parking, on Canfield
Avenue.
Step 2.) Find POINT A at N41 05.382 W73 23.639, and face
away from the lake. Stage 1 is near the center of the stand of
trees immediately in front of you and slightly right. In stage one
is a magnetic Bearing you will need in Step 4. 12/28/09 NOTE:
STAGE 1 MAY HAVE DISAPPEARED. THE BEARING YOU NEED IS 264 DEGREES
MAGNETIC.
Step 3.) Now find
”The Sailing Race” Letterbox, which
is hidden in this park. (Click the link for instructions. NOTE:
Select "PRINT VIEW" for printing!)
NOTE 1/27/05 - The dead tree in the Letterbox directions has blown
over in a storm! SO - Return to the parking lot, and proceed north,
hugging the right (east) side of the lawn until you come to the
woods and are "funneled" into a trail. At the VERY beginning of the
trail, pick up the Letterbox instructions where it says,"From the
beginning of the trail take 33 steps...."
Make a waypoint here at the letterbox – we’ll
call this POINT B.
Step 4.) Find POINT X: From the Letterbox at Point B,
proceed on the bearing you found in Stage 1 (264 degrees magnetic)
until POINT A bears 187 degrees from you (magnetic). STOP. Mark
this spot. This is POINT X.
Step 5.) From Point X, the final cache is 326 feet away on a
bearing of 24 degrees magnetic.
Note from the Owner:
The difficulty rating comes from the fancy GPS (and maybe
compass) work. The actual hides aren't too difficult. In fact, in
this small park, it should be pretty easy to find the final just by
knowing where it can't be. But please, don't short-circuit the
adventure that way, because the joy is in the journey!
