Geocache Description:


Dissendium is a path-revealing spell. Without a signed permission slip from the Dursleys, Harry Potter wasn’t allowed to join his classmates to the trip to Hogsmeade Village. Not wanting to miss out on anything, Harry used his Marauder’s Map and the Dissendium spell to open the secret passage by the One-Eyed Witch in Hogwarts. The passage took Harry to a trap door in the cellar of Honeydukes, where he was able to join his friends. I think that a path-revealing spell would be absolutely brilliant to be able to use for Geocaching. Just think - no more bush whacking!!!

When scoping out this area for a cache, I could not believe all the paths and trails I found - thus the name for this cache

The access to the state-owned land is through the Pendleton cemetery. All the other property in this area is privately owned. To get to the cemetery, there is public access between house numbers 6978 and 6972 - the last two houses on the street. When you see the yellow painted metal post, you know you are in the right place. You may want to waymark this spot, so that on the return trip, you will not be trespassing on private property.

On the way through the cemetery, take the time to look at some of the grave markers - some are *really* old. (No grave for Tom Riddle tho’!) If you like to do Grave Rubbings, you might have a good time here - just bring your paper and lumber crayon or rubbing wax... When leaving the back of the cemetery, I suggest heading north instead of following your GPS right away. Going this way, you will come across some very nice ATV trails (watch out for traffic!) that will make your walk/search much more pleasant. Once you get on a main trail, let the technology commence.

The cache itself is a two-part multi. I attempted to ensure a nice view at the first part and nice views on the way to the final, which is a 50 cal. ammo box. Nothing crazy to do here - it’s just a really nice area.

Just as an added note: While there are no posted hours for the cemetery, this is a residential area. I would not recommend hunting this cache after dark out of respect for the neighbors. Also, there is no parking at the Dead End. Do not follow the path at the Dead End - it will take you to private property. You do not need to park in front of anyone’s house - there is an empty lot across the street, before the third-last house that you can park in the street in front of.

I would also like to add for anyone visiting the cache, an article Urkel was kind enough to share in the early life of this cache. This article from Business First of Buffalo talks about the collapse of the canal in this area in spring of 2005, which explains all the 'renovation' that you'll see... (thanks Urkel!)
