NY: Cornell Plantations

From: makettle52b (makettle@dreamscape.com) | Date: 2003-08-19 01:30:02 UTC
Has anyone been to the Plantations this summer? We went Saturday and
looked for the LB but when we arrived at the general area there looked
to be a lot of new plantings - not knowing how big a pace was - we
looked in two areas but just couldn't come up with the box - we quit
looking simply because with all the new planting and construction of a
stone bench we thought it might have been moved. any input.
Thanks
Chris and Kate

If you're talking about the box "The Plantations" it was certainly in
place when we visited last month. Are you sure you used the right
entrance? When we arrived we pulled up, parked and were ready to hop
out and dash off, then realized we were at the wrong entrance.

We were lucky enough to find this box a couple of days ago, on
Friday. Wish we could be there for the Gathering next weekend! Jay

99% sure. We coordinated all the other clues and I felt we were
correct - they all fit. The last one matched the trail name. It is
possible though that we were wrong. Won't have a chance to check
again until next year. Not knowing if my pace was accurate or not we
tried several times. The area we came up with had a lot of recent
plantings - like within this month as well as the addition of what
looked like a new bench - hard to tell. Should have asked someone if
it was new construction. The other area we thought it was (remember
my pace dilema)just got us very muddy - three thunderstorms that
afternoon. :-) Thanks for answering. Guess I just have to be more
patient. Hope we're more successful this weekend.
