Congrats to Joescout on cache #1000 at Secacus Panorama today. Way to go!!

I will be traveling up to Syracuse, NY in 2 weeks from Central NJ. Fortunately my daughter's college softball team is playing in Cortland on the Saturday and this is nearby to SUNY Cortland. If no local cachers grab the TB out of the cache, then I will try to stop by and grab it. If my plans change between now and then I will let you know.

Andy - Congrats on #800

If anyone is planning a vacation and/or caching in the Adirondacks, check before leaving to see if the caches you are planning to seek are still active. It seems that the NYS DEC has decided that caches placed within certain areas of the Adirondack High Peaks are now verboten. I'm not sure of the total number of caches this effects, but one of the caches I just visited within the last month and some that I had planned on finding have been archived. (I've tried searching the DEC site for any explanations but the only reference to geocaching I could find was a link to an article on geocaching from the February 2005 issue of the Conservationist) To see the note that New York Admin is placing on the archived caches, visit GC6ED4 Cascade Lakes Cache. There is also a link there to the DEC site map showing the effected areas. I can understand the DEC's concern about the impact on the environment, however responsible caching combining the practices of CITO and Leave No Trace should result in a cache location better than found. Hopefully this is not a new policy direction of the DEC to limit geocaching through out the rest of the state on the lands it controls.

Congrats to joescout on find # 400 at Milestone Cache.

I've been working on this one with another west coast partner and it turns out that stage 2 is missing. The cache listing was just listed as temporarily unavailable last night. However that shouldn't stop you from "recruiting" an east coast helper - just a delay in finding WP2.

Sent email for 2 coins. Thank you.

Billie, Will attempt to go out during lunch on Tuesday to find the 2nd part. Cords already loaded into my garmin and camera is packed in my brief case. rich

I work on 34th street between 8th & 9th avenues. There are a couple of caches nearby on 23rd street that shouldn't be too far from your hotel. Look up this cache: GCKQHY, and do a search of nearby caches. Since you must likely don't want to spend all day looking and logging DNF's, check out the previous logs (even the old ones) and check out any photos. Even while doing the tourist trips you should be able to log a couple of virtuals (Empire Strikes Back - GC4D7F - though there is charge to go up to the top). And like hukilaulau said, check out the ones on Central Park if you're up that way. Enjoy your trip.

- this topic brought lots of chuckles to me. I grew up in Massena - actually Louisville (pronounced LOUIS-ville, not LOUIE-ville like they say it in KY) -. BRAY-SURE is the correct way for Brasher Falls. And as someone said earlier, think it was HD, the accent is usually on the other syllable of the European name -as in MAD-rid. However, Lisbon, NY is pronounced the same as Lisbon, Portugal. Go figure.
