On spur of the moment we decided to try for some caches in May 3rd. There are several "clusters" of caches in various locations in Plattsburgh, NY that we aren't too sure how to get to. I thought it would be fun to try and find how to get to one set not far from where we had just finished shopping.

We "attempted" three caches today. This was the first and only "success" of our "attempts". The reason I'm quoting left and right is simple. I don't believe that the cache owners care about several of the caches in this area. The trails we went on were behind the college's baseball field. The paths are well made and focus a bit more on mountain bikes than walking or running, but that didn't stop us from enjoying them. The cache we did spot was encased in a large concrete block that I assume was part of a structure in the past. There is a pipe built into it and the cache is hiding in there. Unfortunately someone thought it fun to push the cache to the back of the pipe and it is now unreachable. We logged it as found partially due to the fact that we did find it and that it will probably never be fixed.
We also searched for three more. The first we couldn't get to because we didn't have the footwear for it and the other two are logs upon logs of DNFs due to them needing repair. Overall a fairly unsuccessful trip out, but we did find some new trails!
