Visit the Lower Hudson Geocachers
Welcome to the Arthur W.Butler Memorial Sanctuary. This sanctuary is open from dawn to dusk for your caching pleasure! Enjoy the rugged outcroppings, wetlands, varied terrain, and wildlife throughout your hike. There's lots to see here!
This is a kid-friendly, 3 stage, short multi cache. Geokid won the final cache container at a recent event, and has been looking forward to creating a multi cache that other kids, along with their parents, can enjoy together! She hopes you have fun with it. Happy caching!
