Geocache Description:

The area has changed since originally placed in 2006. Although the path still exists, it can be hard to follow during spring/summer months. Many trees have fallen that make the approach a bit tougher. While checking on the final, even I could not come up with it and the bugs got to me so I fashioned an alternative container in case you too cannot find a LARGE ammo can!



What Melen & Rayne Didn't Get to Show You!

This two part multi was an alternative spot for one of the HITM P1: Schenectady locations that I did not end up using. I had thought that I had found a brand new spot which, in essence, I did, but I then realized its proximity to "Melen & Rayne's First Cache". It is a different park, even though it is close, but the final is a bit removed from the park.

A lot of the HITM cache locations are steeped in history, easily seen, and a bit more subdued, and this one would fit right in with them. When you make your way to the final, take time to look to each side of the trail to see glimpses of the past. Make sure you just don't fall while you are doing this!

It was very buggy in September when I checked on it and it will definately be buggy in Spring and Summer, so be prepared. Also, the path that you follow has many spots that are slippery and, during heavy rainfall, could be a bit tricky. Watch your footing as well, as there seems to be quite a bit of holes on the path.

The final is a fat 50 cal. ammo container that was filled with items for Summer, crafts, and games, and fun.

UPDATE!


Some research for placement of a yet-to-be-placed cache yielded unexpected results. I actually ran across information pertaining to the area where the final for this cache is located. Old timers may already know this, but part of what you end up walking on was called the GE Cinder Path whice was used by Bellevue residents to walk to work at GE.
