Walkin' On Water

This is a virtual cache. A cache that exists in a form of a location. A virtual cache is usually an interesting spot. The reward for discovering a virtual cache is the location itself, the information you gather there, and the awe of the surroundings.


Let's visit the Queen of the Finger Lakes - Owasco Lake.

This is my first virtual cache.


You can park in Emerson Park off Rt. 38A. Emerson Park has an entry fee ($2.00) during the summer season. There is a small playground if you have children, and grills and picnic tables if you like to eat. Also, a boat launch if you prefer to ride on water.

Directions

From Rochester or Syracuse, take the New York State Thruway to Weedsport (Exit 40). Take Rt. 34 South to Auburn. Follow Rt. 34 & 38 South (South Street) to Swift Street (Rt. 38 South). Take Swift Street East to Lake Ave. Turn right and continue South on Rt. 38 past the High School to the traffic circle. Continue around the traffic circle and follow Rt. 38A toward the East side of the lake to Emerson Park.

From Ithaca take Rt. 34 North to Auburn. On South Street (Rt. 34), turn right (East) on Metcalf Drive to Lake Ave and turn right (South) on Rt. 38 past the High School to the traffic circle. Continue around the traffic circle and follow Rt. 38A toward the East side of the lake to Emerson Park.


Your federal tax dollars at work.


Do not get caught offshore before the lights go out.


Here is the simple rule to log this cache as found:

When you find the exact spot, take a photo of yourself and your GPS at the cache location.

Take the picture so that it doesn't completely give away the exact location or path to the cache.

Upload your photo immediately after submitting your log report.

This photo will help you find the right place to stand.

I got the idea for this cache from Anton.

Be sure to visit his cache, Walk on Water I.
