Night Caches
« on: October 01, 2009, 17:53:06 »
Is anyone up for a little night caching?  I think it's more fun in a group.  The two caches I have in mind, for different nights, are Mirkwood on the FLT trail east of Cortland and Night Owls in the Bear Adventure Area north of Syracuse.

"Night Owl", just north of Phoenix on Rt 57 is a GREAT NIGHT CACHE! Highly recommend it  :) ! (bring lots of flashlights!  :o) However I'm not familiar with "Mirkwood". I did a search on it, and only came up with a cache west of Buffalo by that name. What is it's waypoint? I can't locate it.

Night Owl is good, but as I have warned Lisa about, the firetacks take you down the trail, but the firetacks leading you off of the trail and toward the cache were not visible when I was there this summer. I just wandered off the trail a while until I spotted the cache.

Mirkwood is south of Cortland at Hoxie Gorge. The Waypoint is GC15YEZ.

I'd potentially be interested in a night cache. Sounds like fun!

Found Night Owl about two weeks ago, our first night cache. Brought a bright light and had no problems. There are 8 caches in the area and I had time to find 5 that day. Really like those areas where you can find several and only have to park once. Great Bear Springs is a fun place to explore!  ;D

If I have my way, Great Bear will have several more next year that will lead you out to the western portions of the area. I just need to get permission and containers together.

The Zillion Trillion candlewatt flashlight is fully charged (trees burst into flame when I shine it on them!) and waiting for me to convince TinyMoon that we REALLY REALLY NEED to go find MorTishA night cache down in Otisco! Unfortunately she no longer likes night caching  :-[.

Mor-tish-a Night cache is an excellent night cache.  It was the first one I ever went to, and it's set up really well-with plenty of fire tacks in both directions so finding your way out is not a problem.  Of course, I went with a bunch of pros, but going in a group really makes it fun.  I hope Tiny Moon will change her mind.

N00b question: what's a fire tack?

I'm assuming it's some sort of reflective marker on the trail.

Yes, it's a reflective marker.

You'll see lots (hopefully) when you do your first night cache.

Are you still planning the Night Owl? It would be our first night cache. Of course all depends on timing/weather/

Yes, I'm still planning it, but so far you are only the second interested party and my calendar is suddenly getting rather complicated.  Does 11/6 work for anyone?
