To Conquer the Park

On May 10th we set out with the intention of getting the final cache at Point au Roche State Park. We didn't have much time, but that hasn't stopped us yet.

Ram's Head?
It looks like we left the best for last because this was one of the more interesting trails in the park. Due to our time restraints we didn't get the chance to walk all the trails that led to and from Ram's Head but the main path was excellent nonetheless.

A sitting area by the lake

At the end of the path there is a rock wall that consists of a 15ft or so drop with all sorts of interesting plants on it.

Pretty red flowers

The cache is hidden not too far from it among the thick cedar trees. Colette received her first geocaching related injury when the forest tried to fight her off.

Note the red mark on forehead!

We left one of the travel bugs here and headed back to the car. This is yet another place that I would love to visit again!

Cliff Haven Cache 1

In the southern part of Plattsburgh, especially around the old base, there are several caches that we just don't know how to get to. Unfortunately some cache owners don't bother explaining how to get to a from a cache or what hoops you may need to jump through to get within range of a cache. For folks that are new to the area or may just be visiting it's kind of a turn off. After finishing with Point au Roche we tried for some of these caches. Unfortunately the only one we got to was in a park. The kids got to spend some time playing on the swings and sliding then we headed into the nearby woods to find the cache. It was quite wet so I ended up travelling in alone. 

On the plus side it was a nice big ammo can with lots of swag that the kids got to go through. 

I can see your house from here!
