A good walk in a nice part of Central Park, we could imagine we were not in a city but in a forest (apart from the noise of traffic). TFTC

Another beautiful day for a walk in Central Park and as we were passing we couldn’t resist grabbing a few caches along the way. As usual with Mr Buccaneer in charge of the GPS we took a direct path up from the road to the cache site, climbing up along the large rocks and ignoring the nice easy path! Still it didn’t put us off and we soon found the information we needed to log a find (We hope!) TFTC. Greetings from Scotland, UK.
 
20-Oct-13
Visited the site. I will change this note to "found it" after I have returned home and sent the answers to CO. I hope it's ok.
Edit 20/31/13 Answers sent! Thanks for showing me The great place here on CentrAl Park! Smile

My wife sometimes says that I cannot pass up a high point. In this case, she was right. History. Caching. Old things. It does not come any better than this.

Easy stroll from African skies. Plaque seemingly gone but obviosuly in the right spot. Thanks.
 
08-Oct-06
We must have approached from the right direction because it wasn't too hard a climb for us, especially coming from "African Skies". Unfortunately there was no plaque (as others have said) but I've emailed a photo. We also couldn't see much in terms of views because of tree cover. Am interested in what this is though and why its here. I have a photo as proof of find plus have emailed the answer to the brick question. Not sure if the owner checks in here very often though, so will log find now and wait to be told if we're wrong! TFTC!
