Plattekill Rest Area Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

geosliders: It's been a good run for this one (six years and almost 300 finds) but it's time for this one to be put to rest (no pun intended [:P]). Thanks to all who stopped by to visit over the years, and thanks to all who helped keep this one going for so long. [8D]

Geocache Description:

Easy Park and Grab Micro

PLEASE REPLACE CAP TIGHTLY - WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF A NEW LOG BEING PLACED THE LID WAS PUT ON LOOSELY AGAIN AND IT HAS TAKEN ON WATER AGAIN. WE WILL REPLACE ONE MORE TIME AND THEN ARCHIVE IT IF IT CONTINUES TO BE REPLACED INCORRECTLY AND GET WET AGAIN - We are up and down the thruway often and decided it needed some more easy caches to keep everyone occupied.

This is an easy park and grab along the northbound side of the NYS Thruway, in the Plattekill Rest Area.

Although its easy it has been given a 2 for difficulty because you need to use lots of stealth for muggles.
You will probably wind up needing to use some stealth tricks such as the old walking the dog one
(although it's not recommended unless you actually have a dog ), the cleaning out the car bit, or even
the holding the GPSr to your ear to pretend you're talking on the cellphone gig. We'd love to hear about
the stealth tactics you had to use trying to find this cache so write 'em in your logs .

The location was chosen in part so you might be able to use your car to help conceal what you are doing.

No room for trades - remember to BYOP and sign name and date only, thanks.
