Genesee Footbridges Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sapience Trek: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
NYCacher

Geocache Description:

Located in Genesee Valley Park, Rochester, NY

The multi will take you over and around footbridges on the Genesee River and Erie Canal. The area gives some very scenic views of where the Genesee River and Erie Canal intersect so bring a camera. The views are definitely some of the best of the Genesee and Erie canal. In the fall, the regattas are held right in the river below the bridges. In warmer weather, you may wish to bring the bicycles to travel between waypoints, but the walk is even better.

The above coordinates will bring you to a plaque which you have to do a little math to get you to the second leg. Here are the partial coordinates to the second leg. N43.07.213, W077.38.4XX. To determine the rest of the coordinates, subtract the birth year from the death year on the plaque. This multi consists of the above mentioned plaque, plus two micro containers and the final cache. The final cache a 2 quart container.

The cache container has lots of goodies, be sure to trade fair and sign the logbook. Please re-hide the caches well to prevent muggles from plundering. Due to serious tree cover and other obstructions, this cache may have an extra element of difficulty so clues are provided. Good luck and don't forget to enjoy the surroundings!
