NYC Geocaching Everything and anything about NYC Geocaching

Are you level two? Some of you are aware that there is a pathtag available for anyone that finds at least SIX of the NYPL (New York Public Library) caches in Manhattan, NY. However soon there will be a 2nd (silver) pathtag for anyone who has found TWELVE NYPL caches! There are currently 12 active NYPL caches with one to be reactivated in the spring.

So, if you think you are owed a pathtag (or two), please contact the NYPL cache owner via the geocaching.com website. Otherwise, what are you waiting for?!?! NYPL Level 2

At 95 acres, Meadow Lake in Flushing Meadows Corona Park is the largest fishable freshwater body in New York City. Meadow connects to 45-acre Willow Lake, currently not open to fishing.
