Harrison Island Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Crusso: Sadly, I no longer have the time available to mantain this one so I'm gonna let the location go up for grabs. It's a nice spot but requires constant replacement/maint.
Anyone want it?

Geocache Description:

Beautiful paved park linking 2 small islands in New Rochelle.

Relatively easy find but in a really nice area. Basically paved trails so no ticks to worry about. Site overlooks the marina on one side & some of New Rochelle's priciest real estate on the other. .5 miles from closest legal street parking, .2 miles from permit parking area if you want to chance a ticket (I haven't gotten one yet but they do enforce, especially during the summer).

Cache keeps dissapearing but I keep replacing it. Several times, however, people have reported it missing when it was still there. It's hidden rather craftilly so look for it well!

Cache is a 32-oz clear plastic screw top container painted black w/white mottling. Contains (to start) a kid's spy T-shirt, light stick, bouncing sound ball, small brass box/incense burner, some biohazard decals, screwdriver keychain, polished rocks.

Please be wary of being spotted, as this can be a well traveled area close to a picnic site. I advise bringing a backpack, dropping the whole cache in & then taking it to a nearby bench to examine. Rehide the same way. Last couple of feet can be tricky, careful with children.
