Long Island Thread

[+JMBella]

Here's where you can come to talk about caching and Long Island.

 

C'mon, like you didn't know this was coming.

I like caching!

 

I've never cached on Long Island, but since I am way down here in the sticks of Southern NJ and the "Northern NJ" rule doesn't apply, I thought I'd stick my 2 cents in.

 

I'll just shut up and go back to lurking now...probably safer that way!

[mortonfox]

I've been to Long Island enough to post here.

[+Mopar]

I can smellsee LawnGuyLand from here. Does that count?

[avroair]

I have been to two LIGO events so I am entitled to post in here. It's not like there are any hills in my way.

 

Edit: Are you guys having a CITO event or can you suggest a nice loop of caches, I may bring over a contingent of Northern NJ thugs in the future...

 

I leave my dirty footprints in here!

Is there a cache located somewhere in there?

 

Are you guys having a CITO event (preferably near the Earth cache).

If I live in Brooklyn or Queens can I still post here, since geographically, it IS still LI!?!

Well, you dont, and no. Long Island is Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Now go away.

One day I'll find that bridge on the Queens-Nassau border.

[+splicingdan]

All kidding aside.

Anyone willing to say definitively that there's a better cache, in Nassau or Suffolk Counties, than Squealy's Valley Rally?

 

As I said in my log, it's the best cache from that point west through Brooklyn. Outside of NYC, I try to pick-and-choose quality caches.

I wouldn't know. He skunked me on part 1. I will tell you that there are several excellent caches all over the Island.

[+zarah]

Ok JM, so what are the other good ones? I enjoyed " visions of Jayne" in West Hills. The view was awesome.

[+JMBella]

This might take a while. Most recently this cache comes to mind: What The Heck by JerryMonkey

 

and this one: Bambi Land by devil duckies

 

Oh, and this one is in the most original location in LI: Suburban Spelunking by YoshiLMT

 

And here's a little shameless plug: Edgewood Crossover

[+zarah]

arg i haven't done any of those yet! I havent attempted the valley rally either. i gotta get moving. I also like the LWK Foot bridge.

[+JMBella]

You need to spread your wings a bit. If you like that foot bridge, check this out: More Shameless Self promotion.

Looks enticing. Heard you were headed to 1000. how long it going to take?

You're the only two who have found the new version in the last two years so we'll have to take your word for it. Maybe one day it'll be on the top of my favorites list but right now it's a thorn on a list all it's own.

I'm not sure what the old version was. I'm just assuming that it's not much different since it's still listed as the same cache.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, Rozz.

How about some caches in Nassau?

Over time - part one and the final of SVR have had to change due to muggles. It is definitely not very different. Certainly not worth allowing people to relog it as a find (Z_Man!).

 

I love that cache - and it was definitely an original for that time. There weren't many, if any caches in the area that were that different.

 

As for Nassau County - since this has become the thread of shameless plugs (JMBella), I will have to plug my caches in Welwyn Preserve:

 

Well, Well, Welwyn

 

and

 

Purple Nurple

 

They're not amazing caches but the preserve is awesome. I have been thinking about a multi in there and will hopefully set it up this spring or summer - so you may want to wait for that one to come out before trekking up there.

 

There's also these caches which seem to frustrate people:

 

SLB @ St. John's Pond

 

SLB @ Garvies Point

 

The Giving Tree

 

SLB @ Tiffany Creek Preserve which may need some maintenance

 

SLB @ Sands Point Todd (IntoTheWoods) didn't find it but I am not sure how it would disappear

and The Great Depression which people seem to be scared of but is not all that bad.

 

and you could probably spend a few hours hitting the ones in Muttontown Preserve which is an awesome place.

[+Czarniecki314]

Unless someone clubs Neil iin the knee, I'm not going to catch him.  hint hint

No threatening Neil's knees, please! Or I might have to go ghetto on your @ss.

 

And I agree that the Valley Rally is the best multi 'round your way. We here in the sticks like "GeoCacher's GeoCache" -- definitely gives the Valley Rally a run for its money.

 

But the Valley Rally still wins.

Thanks for the "impartial" review.

[+Czarniecki314]

you're very welcome

 

I'm also a big fan of the caches in the Muttontown Preserve -- shut up, Joe. That was pretty much my backyard as a kid -- spent countless hours there with my friends and my parents... you never get sick of exploring it. AND, if you go in the summer, there's a peacock who hangs out and is bizarrely friendly.

 

Is that a locationless?

[+BlackBuck]

Why can't Squealy just go in the woods find a log or hollow tree and stick a ammo can in there like the rest of us!We have to solve puzzles do math get a special tool(which you need to borrow from z-man) get a key from the park ranger or watch the history channel!But his clues make things alot easier"eplurubus unum"with a clue like that how can you miss it!

[+Czarniecki314]

Math... bad...

 

at least he keeps it exciting and clean... we've all had that experience of Amityville Horror... I'd rather do math!

There's a lot of ways to describe Neil, keeping it clean is not one of them.

[+zarah]

Since when did this turn into an "All about Squealy" thread?

 

I want to talk about DNFs. Who here logs EVERY DNF? what are your thoughts on the DNF vs notes logging?

 

btw, I saw a male turkey "treading" (or kneading?) a female today at the TR sanctuary. It was disturbing. I had to stop and take a pic.

What was even worse was the minion watching the action.

I log all my dnfs cept one time recently when i looked for a cache out east and the cache and about forty feet of terrain had been washed away by the tide.For that one i posted a note Here

[+zarah]

bump

anyone have a list of night caches on LI? They dont have to be actual "night" caches like Chandler Estate Nightmare but ones that at least available at night.

 

hmm joe you owe me for that plug.

[+JMBella]

As far as I'm concerned, they're all available at night.

 

There's this one: St.Margarets ghost

 

It's good but mine's better.

 

Stay tuned for another one coming up in a couple of weeks. I'm just waitng for the supplies to get delivered.

 

Best Night cache I've seen yet is Night Sweats in NJ.

[+Scoobie10]

Looking for someone from Long Island to help. You will also get to log a find.

 

I'm wanting to log the Where's in a name cache by Crusso. Please take a look at the cache page for more information.

 

I've generated my first coord as 73°06.243. is anyone over there close enough to run out and snap a pic? We will both be able to log the find.

 

Thanks,
