Cache was archived.

I have been doing a lot of caching this summer in CR.  For some reason, I never checked here to see if there is a cache.  I was pleasntly surprised to see one there.  I had a couple of other caches in this general area so this one went on the to do list.  After grabbing a near by cache, I headed off for this one.  I bushwhacked a short distance until I found a nice unmarked trail.  I followed that to the zero.  There are a plethora of fine hiding places worthy of a cache.  After searching for a while, I came across a very well concealed cache.  This is a great cache and I am glad I got it.  Thanks for placing it!  I am trying to convince a co-worker to visit this cache.  He has grabbed everything else in the park.  I suspect he will be by soon.  TFTC>

While hitting as many caches as I could along the orange trail, I somehow skipped over this lonely little open cache until I was a good .24 past it. Well, what's another half mile round trip added to all the miles I've already trudged today. I marked a waypoint where I left the trail and headed into the unknown. Along the way I saw three white flags waving ahead of me, the only deer I saw all day. The cache was found easily enough and fallen trees were plentiful to sit on for a bit of a breather. Good thing I marked that waypoint, because I typically started walking in the wrong direction that would have had me miss the trail by a good margin. Thanks for the cache!

Boy Im tellin ya what a pretty ammo can ya got hidden there!  I bushwhacked a B line from Geocache Touche' Found it in the second place I looked. I had a great day hiking in the park today. I had 2 disappointing dnfs and 1 disappointing find.

I Enjoyed finding this one and will recommend it to any one who likes big sexy trees in a beautiful woods. I didnt see any Omelets but after finding, I had a packet of pop tarts and some water before I finished up the Orange Trail cache. I wanted to get this one logged first because I don't know how many I will get to tonight.

Thanks for the hike today CC Im pretty tired but had a great day. Spent 8 hrs on the trails. Now its time for a few Sarnac's then a steak dinner, wile I watch the Hockey Game P.S. I did not hug any of the Oaks today but I just may have touched a few in an inappropriate manner I dont think they minded at all

That Szuchi sure do write purdy don't he? The good news is that they didn't leave any of them there Philly omlettes in the cache.

 

So I found myself travelling from there to here today. And the fact that I was doing it an hour earlier than I had planned was a just a bit of good fortune. Taking full advantage of that happenstance I pulled off the 219 and made my way to this lovely park.

 

I left the ladder on the truck and headed on in to the woods. At the first crossing of the paths I had to stop and wait as the traffic on the trail perpendicular to mine obviouslt had the right of way. Ladies first after all. Once the traffic had cleared I looked both ways and, with no more travelers in sight, I proceded on my way.

 

Spying the first water hazard early I started making plans. Sizing up where and how to cross as I approached. Should have worried about that when I got there and paid more attention to where my feet were. I was amazed at how far I could slide on one foot. But I managed to get the other back underneath me before I went down. I know, anticlimatic. Sorry.

 

Made it the rest of the way to the cache site without incident. A quick survay of the area and I spotted what I thought was the most likely location for a Cayuga cache. Bingo! Nice job on that container and the hide is right up to your usual high standards.

 

Thanks for the fun afternoon hike. It was an enjoyable way to spend a fall afternoon.

Yummy....<br /> <br /> What? Anytime you can enjoy a philly steak omlette after finding a nice ammo box in the woods...the results are certainly most yummy.<br /> <br /> It would be criminal of me to not give a smidgen more detail regarding my adventures in the Red Oak Ocean this morning. So here's some stuff. Followed in Szuchie fashion by some more stuff. And possibly some things should I really get off track.<br /> <br /> When I noticed an opencache that touted itself as a long hike in the woods, with ridges, chests, and ammo boxes it was dang near impossible for me to restrain myself. But I did. The white coat the nice doctors gave me to keep me warm helps. To the bat telegraph machine I went, and after a flurry of dots, spaces, x's and o's, I had drafted Chicky into my fantasy opencaching league and plans were designed to meet up at an ungodly hour to go massage metal boxes in the privacy of the woods.<br /> <br /> Of course Chicky's idea of X-o'clock "ish" is not nearly detailed enough, and with no official agenda published, revised, notarized and approved by a justice of the peace, I had to take matters into my own hands. Eventually I was able to drag Chicky into the car and we headed off A-Team style to Chestnut Ridge complete with explosions, machine gun fire, sweet jumps and unnecessary amounts of gold jewelry adorned around our necks. Sure it isn't too stylish, but how could anything be less fashionable than those lame assed skinny jeans? I mean really - is there a reason kid enjoy the feeling of having their junk in a vice grip? Maybe something to look into…anyway...<br /> <br /> To enhance our adventure, I decided to drive random back roads meandering ever so slightly to the northleft. Eventually we decided to use the GPS, and after taking a u-turn somewhere near Clymer New York we were back on track and arriving at the parking coords just as the sky started to glow from the morning sun. Happily, Chicky and I hit the trail, and after a near fatal tangent, we were giddily enjoying the sounds of the early morning forest before the hustle and bustle of the day got underway. I love this section of trail as I have traveled them before on Cayuga-inspired expeditions - so it was my extremely pleasure to be able to share these superb sights with my trail mate Chicky.<br /> <br /> Cayuga will be dismayed to know that despite my best efforts, I didn’t fall, land on my butt, or dive headfirst into the ravine. God knows I tried, but I’m just not as talented as I give myself credit for. Damn me and all my grace, poise and eloquence. Eventually we reached the “interesting place” coordinates, and headed off into the wilderness along unmarked but very followable trails. Soon we were cuddled up to some very majestic red oaks and we nuzzled them eagerly as I know Cayuga would not approve of infidelity…you know how those dirty dirty beech trees can be. Trashy little vixens.<br /> <br /> After an awesome hike, we arrived at the cache location. There were plenty of spots to tickle, but eventually Chicky did the deed and snagged the cache. I was proud of her. To celebrate we did a reproduction of Disney’s Bedknobs and Broomsticks complete with theatrics, emoting and several costume changes. It was glorious. We handcrafted a special cache log for Cayuga, and rehid the cache as we had found it. There were a few reprises as we always like to do at least one encore, and before we knew it we were wandering back through the woods along the ridge towards our car.<br /> <br /> We have to thank Cayuga for this fine fine opencache offering. In our best old guy style, we’ve been bitching and moaning that despite everyone’s eagerness to populate the area with OC’s, no one’s bothered to hide our favorite kind of cache. So we are grateful to you Mr. Crew for all you do to keep us entertained (and subsequently full of Greek food). You know how easily we get distracted (and that we also never carry cash). This is an excellent adventure - thank you.<br /> <br /> With love and sloppy oak tree kisses,<br /> <br /> ~Szuchie<br />
