Beautifull day all around Central Park on our bikes (with Dori). From 9h to 19h, 33 caches (11 Gates and 14 Dasthardly) were found under a beautifull sun.

Nice cache in a very nice landmark. We had a little chance to find the cache.

Thanks for the cache




Cette première journée à New York est consacrée à Central Park : avec Dori, nous allons arpenter le parc en vélo, sous un radieux soleil, et trouver au passage 33 caches dont 11 Gates (notre objectif de la journée) et 14 Dastardly.

Très jolie letterbox dans un coin magnifique de central Parc. Nous avons eu un peu de chance (ou est-ce du flair) pour trouver la cache,.

Merci pour la cache

Wife brought me in to Mount Sinai for follow up visit and I wanted her to see the beautiful conservatory gardens. The clues didn't make sense until standing in that spot and then it was a perfect map.
 
01-May-14
We entered on 105th street and as soon as we passed the gate the area was so beautiful and amazing. Perfect time of the year as the flowers were beginning to bloom, the tree were full of color and the fountain calling from across the garden.

Found during a lovely day full of caching in central park.

Very nice part of the park here. It took us a while to understand what we had to do but her instinct brought us to the right place after some minutes. Nice cache in a nice place.

Thanks a lot!

For a moment i wondered if i will have any chances on finding this one due to limited vocabulary but i took my chances and with a bit of experienced geo-eye i spotted the hide quite easily, a good one in a nice garden, thank you!

Today we rented a bicycle and made the entire tour around Central Park, which took us about three hours. Of course the plan was to grab some caches.

Almost no muggles around here, and the description led us quickly to the container. Nice garden and hide ! Logged at 11:40am. TFTLB and greetings from Belgium !

Uhh... This was a hard one! it took long to find the cache. We had to ask help from two locals in the park, cos we didn't understand what "stanchion" means. We we're very happy to find the cache! Smile TFTC and greetings from Finland!

Very nice riddle that I was able to solve when my girlfriend went to the rest rooms and my infant son slept in the stroller Smile I thought it would be harder, espescially when I had to place New Hampshire. As a foreigner, my knowledge of American geography isn't great. But, as I went through the motions I came to a wonderful discovery, and I only had to consult my compass Smile (still didn't get the Bill W part though).

As we left the "park lady" shouted to some chinese tourists to get off the grass. I'm quite pleased that I didn't have to ask her for help, but found the cache on my own. Thanks for hiding! (btw, I signed on the last page of the log, there's probably just room for 4 or 5 more).

Since I am not a native speaker, the hints didn't make any sense to me...

I was in the area a few years ago and wanted to get this one, but it was after-hours so I couldn't. But today I was able to get here on a beautiful day and took a slight detour from visiting the stages of the Bridges & Arches multi to sign the log. I eventually unraveled the riddle and saw the bear! Thanks for the cache.

Took a bit of working....and then when at GZ I found the stamp first. Replaced that...adn then managed to (finally) spot the cache. Love the colour and it certainly blends in.

With some difficulty we hunted. After reading some logs we saw that the park ladies help. So feeling almost defeated we asked a park lady who pointed us to the stanchion. From there I found it.

Our first letterbox! Thanks for the interesting clues Smile

This took us some guessing. But we guessed pretty precisely and approached the box step by step and had it soon in our hands. Thanks for showing this beautiful area of the park.

This week I am visiting my brother here in New York. Today me and my family visited the northen part och central park, Harlem and fifth avenue. Of course I went for some geocaching Smile.

I had some trouble with this one. I had no idea what a stanchion was. What diamonds I was looking for. Who this Billy guy was. Where New Hampshire were. But step by step (with some help of a park women) I finally managed to find the cache!

Tftc or as we say in Sweden - Tfg!

Holidays in New York City.

Getting close to the coords wasn´t too easy without getting wet... After a little bit of orientation I could find something that fitted to the desription. And shortly thereafter both boxes. Nice place!
Thanks and greetings from Frankfurt / Germany

I've only logged one letterbox before this one, that was a great one and so was this! [^]
Arrived at the coordinates and it was good I had a print-out of the instructions. After a while I understood where I was supposed to go and soon I found the correct spot, took bearing and after a bit of searching I saw the very well hidden cache and stamp.

Was very quiet in the park at this hour so no trouble signing the cache and stamping.
Thnx for a great, well done letterbox in a nice location.
