To find this cache you must complete two other caches of mine,
O RLY? and
YA RLY. The logbooks in those two caches both contain half of
the coordinates for this one. The numbers in the logbooks will
correspond with this set of coordinates written in letters.
North: HA°IB.JCK'
West: DL°EM.FNG'
No matter how you look at it this cache will take 200+ miles of
roundtrip driving to find. And I mean that. If you don't log a find
on both "O RLY?" and "YA RLY" you may not log a find on this one.
This means that having your friends in Binghamton/Rochester get
half of the coordinates for you is not an option.
So why do it? Well, both Rochester and Binghamton are loaded
with caches, so you could spend a day/weekend caching in both of
them. But wait, there's more! You have my unconditional guarantee
that this will be one of the best caches you have ever done.
Infact, it pains me to make this location the home of a cache that
will be visited so few times, but those who do log it will be
greatly rewarded by one of the best secrets that the Seneca Lake
area has to offer.
If you travel a lot, like to do insane caches or are looking for an
interesting milestone cache then this one is for you!
Now about the cache location. The cache is located somewhere
within 5 miles of the listed coordinates. I found this place only
by having a "Hey, that looks cool. I wonder what's there?"
mentality. I'm sure some people know about this location, but it's
certainly not well advertized. By my standards this is a perfect
hike. It's challenging, but not overly difficult. There are some
steep inclines, though. A good deal of off trail bushwhacking is
required.
If you email me with the coordinates for this cache I'd be happy
to provide parking coordinates. Additionally, since the people
finding this cache will mostly be from quite a ways away I'd hate
to see someone log a DNF (even though the hide is not really too
difficult). If you want additional hints just ask and I'll give you
some.
