NY; Bike it or Hike it news

From: haalck (haalck@snet.net) | Date: 2005-07-20 04:02:31 UTC
It only took me 3 weeks, but I finally finished writting and posting
the clues for 5 new Letterboxes in NY. See whats new for;

Ballston Veterans Bikeway in Ballston Lake, NY (map coming soon)
Catskill Scenic Trail West in Bloomville,NY
Old Champlain Canal Trail in Waterford,NY
Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway in Cohoes,NY
Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway South in watervliet,NY
Also, I've renamed the original Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway Letterbox in
Niskayuna,NY to the Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway North Letterbox

I've added some updates to my Harlem Valley Rail Trail South Letterbox
in Millerton,NY for those who plan on biking it.

Also for bikers, I've updated my Dendrology 101 Letterbox in Storrs,CT
with some added routes.

Wow! When I read this
post, it brought back
memories! I grew up in
Saratoga springs and lived
there for 35 years. Moved
to Louisiana a little over
5 years ago. My sister
still lives up there, told
her about letterboxing.
She said she had stumbled
across one by accident at
the Battlefield, but didn't
know what it was, so left
it alone. Now she does.
There are ALOT of them up
there and can't wait till
the day I get a chance to
go up and find some.

I don't know about that one & I live in Saratoga Springs. There are no clues
for it on the LbNA website. Does anyone have clues to this box? I'm so
thrilled for all these new bike it/hike it boxes in the area. There aren't very many
boxes around here unless you want to take a long drive. Thanks!

It might be a geocache, as I ran into a geocacher while hiding one of
my letterboxes in watertown. He said there were a bunch in the area.

Okay, DUH! Too much hot
Louisiana sun on my head.
It was a Geocache she
found, sorry, sometimes I
get my letterboxes and
geocaches mixed up. And I
am not really sure where
she was when she found the
box, thought she said the
battlefield, but she goes
all over the place and hits
all the mountains. I am
trying to lure her into
both activities, but it is
hard to convince someone
from so far away. I am
ready to take my punishment
for getting you all excited
and then popping your
balloon! :( Sequoia_2
