Description:
A small, unnamed creek (as far as I can tell) tumbles over several
small cascades on it's way to Lake Erie. This is a .6 mile round
trip in a nice area, although slighty defiled by teen partiers.
The strange cache name comes from two sources. First, The
container once belonged to HuckleBuckle (AKA the original messed up
clown). It was used for his cache
Right on Target hidden behind the Target Store on Milestrip
Road. This was a De Facto parking lot cache, most likely thrown a
few feet into the woods out the window of a moving vehicle. When
Target underwent a large expansion, the area where the cache was
located was closed off for about 6 months, and the cache archived.
Working in the neighborhood like I do, I recovered it when the
construction was completed.
Secondly, there was another cache in this general area,
Victorians Secret Cache. This was placed in 2006 by a gentleman
who only found 4 caches, and placed only that one, and hasn't
logged into the website in almost two years, as of the date of this
cache placement. The cache name came from the fact that the street
Victorian Drive is near the cache (although I don't believe you can
park there to access the area). Finding that cache wasn't this
cache owners first introduction to this cool area though. I
remember my 8th grade Science class taking a field trip to this
area to find fossils in the late 1970's! As you may or may not
know, the exposed shale in the Town of Hamburg is chock full of
fossils.
Parking coordinates supplied below are for the Robin Lane Dead
End. Walk South towards the creek to access the trails. This is
Hamburg Town property on both sides of the Creek, and is well used
by the local residents, including teen partiers and paintball
players, as mentioned before. You're looking for a good-sized
plastic screw top container, wrapped in camo tape. Unlike it's
first life as a cache, it contains a baggie for the logbook, and
writing utensils. Plenty of room for TB's.
Ok, that's it, I'm retired. Ba-Dee Ba-Dee Ba-Dee That's all
folks.
