4 July 2009 Chautauqua and Cattaraugus
We planned to visit Cattaraugus County and finish the first half of the Enchanted Mountains Geotrail. Friends stopped by so we started later than planned. The day took a 'let's see which cache is next' path. Our starting point was a dnf along the Conewango River. The Conewango is a really good choice for an easy canoe through a scenic area. This cache is located near one of the drop points.
Our second stop was a park in Frewsburg. We were both a little apprehensive about hitting public parks on the 4th. We expected them to be overrun with muggles. Funny thing about the day was we saw almost no one. It was a little cool for the holiday, but there was still a blue sky that beckoned for a picnic at the park.
We wandered through Cattaraugus eventually finding two of the EMGT caches. One was at a park in Perrsyburg. It's an older park, but has all of the things that parks should have except people.
We closed our day with a return trip to Deer Lick Nature Sanctuary. We found the last caches in the area and walked most of the trails. One of Zoar Valley's many waterfalls is a nice cascade deep in the Nature Sanctuary.
