This cache is a lock-n-lock hidden a short way off the yellow-marked Pelton Pond trail on the southern end of the pond. You will want to leave the trail and head down the herd path before heading for GZ. Beware that there is a letterbox in the most obvious hiding place -- the cache is about 30ft away. The trailhead coordinates indicate where the yellow-marked Pelton Pond (PP) trail leaves the parking lot heading towards the south. The parking coordinates are for the Pelton Pond parking lot. You may find a Fahnestock trail map at http://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/ClarenceFahnestockTrailMap.pdf
