The bike shop is to the left of the tower in the photo above. There are supposed to three geocaches very close to this tower. I could not find the one that is supposed to be between the tower and the bike shop. There is one close to where I took the photo, but it is on a structure that was surrounded by mud and water about knee deep. I chose to save this for a dryer time. There has been a lot of rain and flooding in the last few weeks. There are more examples of that to come. The next geocache I came to was supposed to be about 10 feet into the woods, but the poison ivy was so thick I decided that January would be a better time for that one.
I next went north to the Melvin Price lock and dam.
There were a few geocaches there. I found 2 of the 3 that were close by that I looked for. The one I did not find was called “Headwaters” The clue was “Warning, You might get wet”. This is where it is supposed to be.
At first I thought that they did not really expect people to go into the falls and get wet finding the cache, but then I saw the sign.
I thought this one would be better another time when I was dressed for getting wet.
There is supposed to be a geocache within about 30 feet of John’s eagle project but I could not find that one either.
There was also supposed to be another one less than a mile from John’s eagle project near Ellis Island.
There was no statue visible on this Ellis Island. I only saw birds.
I also did not find the geocache. On my way back I saw some interesting views of the flooding. I wonder if the water is affecting the transformer in this photo.
It looks like this land/marsh/lake is for sale.
If the water drops just a little more, the phone number will be fully visible for those interested.
I ended up finding 4 of the 10 geocaches I looked for. I got to walk several miles, getting some good exercise and I got to see some very interesting sights. Next time I go to these places, I should take some help to spot the hard to find caches.
