Geocache Description:

Tankerhoosen River Pine Grove Cache.

Welcome to the Tankerhoosen River Pine Grove Cache. We hope you’ll enjoy the lovely walk in these majestic pines. This cache sits inside part of the Belding Wildlife Management Area. Maxwell Belding donated 282 acres, in Vernon, to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the purpose of wildlife management and environmental education. This is hidden in a stone wall. PLEASE DO NOT DAMAGE THE WALL. I have been told that someone pulled rocks off and did not replace them. If you have dificulty, USE THE HINT. I made the hint very exact so the wall would not be damaged. There are three available parking areas. The best access to the cache is to park on Reservoir Rd. at N41 50.224 W072 26.630. Walk down the dirt road until you come to a bridge but do not cross the bridge. Turn left and follow the Tankerhoosen River until you come to a stone wall then turn left again. There's another cache that you can access on the way. The second allows you to access the major trout pond and the pine trees of this property. It is located on Break and Milk Road (N41 49.717 W72 26.810), with the entrance to the wildlife area at N41 49.772 W72 26.837. There is now a path and bridge that brings you to the entrance. There are several paths in the area. Take a look at the pond that is formed by the Tankerhoosen River. This area is a catch and release fishing area. There are trout in the pond and river. The shortest route will be to take the blue trail to the left of the ponds. The blue trail goes in both directions. There are a few other caches in this area. The third allows you to access the Old Vernon Cemetery. This cemetery has soldiers from the revolution and many other original Vernon residents buried here. The parking in located on Bamforth Road (N41 50.124 W72 26.933). You will need to climb over a low stone wall and go down the hill until you com onto the blue trail, once you find the blue trail take a left and follow the rest of the directions. There's another cache near the back corner of the cemetery.
