The cache is a small lock-n-lock hidden just off the CB trail, You can reach the cache with a long stretch fron the trail. Please be gentle on the vegitation around the boulder.
The parking/trailhead coordinates (which are the same) indicate where the CB traik crosses route 301. You may find a Fahnestock trail map at https://parks.ny.gov/parks/attachments/ClarenceFahnestockTrailMap.pdf
