NY: Phantom Cat sighted in Buffalo!

Hi all, I wanted to update everyone on Monsters of New York #5, the
Phantom Cat. Last I heard back in Aug, Delerium had found it but
noted some trail construction happening near the site. I think this
construction may have removed the signpost mentioned in the clues
and since then I have received a few reports this box couldn't be
found. Yesterday, Nov 15th, I got this note from Team Dakota:

"Phantom Cat is alive and well. I looked in the wrong trees for
quite some time. The construction clue made me think that the signs
had been taken down. But once on track again it was a great spot."

We're going to try to get the clues updated, which will be somewhat
of a challenge since we no longer live in NY, but hopefully we can
get the Cat back on track soon.

Okay! That means I'm going back for attempt number six at that box!

One word of warning! The signs that say "Do not feed deer and other
wildlife" mean what they say. There are several people in jail this
evening for feeding deer in that park! It was on the news tonight.
If they're found guilty, they'll get fifteen days in jail and several
hundred hours of community service.
