This cache is a 2ml tube. Log only - bring a pencil. It is hidden on a deck that overlooks the Double Arches on the Old Croton Aqueduct in Ossining. All this deck needs is deck chairs!
The aqueduct tunnels below ground, but in some places it crosses gorges through arched viaducts. The most spectacular example of this is the double arch at Ossining. Here there is an 88 foot stone arch spanning the Kill Brook. In the 1860s, a second arch was constructed, under the aqueduct arch, to carry the traffic of Broadway across the brook. The double arch is hard to see because of subsequent overgrowth. The NYS Heritage Museum at the Ossining Community Center is a stone's throw from the cache.The hours of the museum are Monday through Saturday from 9am to 6pm. There are two main exhibits, one on Sing Sing Prison titled "Up the River" and another about the Old Croton Aqueduct called "Down the River."
