Geocache Description:

This Cache is found just off the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail. http://www.gorailtrail.org . The rails have long since been scrapped and the bed is great for hiking or biking. It is in a dark green Ammo Can.

You can park in a public parking lot in Rosendale at N41 deg 50.478, W74 deg 5.237. Or a shorter walk is by doing what the locals do and drive thru the Tilson cemetery and park near a local used trail at N41 deg 50.006, W74 deg 4.829. Please make sure you cover this cache up good again in the same manner as the hint, there is a lot of foot traffic in this area. Inside this cache is a light up bracelet, BBQ King, water pistol, various toys and the Travel Bug Kirsten's Mother Earth. This cache will bring you to the natural playground of my youth which dates back to the summer of '69 for me when I first came to this area. Not to far from this area where this cache is located it is loaded with hidden mines, ice caves, Indian shelters, fossils, crystals, arrowheads, trout stream, blue berries, craggy cliffs, quartz crystal lined deep crevices and even found a patch of wild ginseng once. In order to find these unmarked treasures you will need to walk anywhere from 100 feet to half a mile off the rail trail while heading south along the next mile or so. It was being exposed to this area in my early youth that promoted the sense of adventure that inspired me to go onto so many more life adventures. The area though now quite overgrown was very open during my youth due to the many fires that had burned the Shawangunks, many to promote the growth of blueberries and huckleberries. My son Hans thought up the name of Hip Hop To The Rip Rop, I have no idea what it means but it sounded like a cool name for a cache.
