This replaces the old Butler Reservoir cache, which has been archived. Park at N40.58.982; W74.22.762. Take the blue trail to the blue/white trail, following the shore of the reservoir. From stage 2 you can return the way you came (shorter) or continue around the reservoir (more scenic). Either way, be prepared to do a little walking. This is not a park and grab. Total hike is a bit over 3 miles
This is a three stage cache. The first two are contained in very small Tupperware type containers. The first stage (BR1) is just off the blue trail, the 2nd stage (BR2) is just off the blue/white trail. The actual cache is a bushwack from the blue trail.
Note: Returning from leg 2 via the blue trail cuts nearly a mile off the trek, but you miss some nice views along the reservoir . Among the original contents was a baseball signed by a number of famous people including Babe Rooth, Joe Dammageo and Bruce Willes. At a recent appraisal, I was told "this has no value". I was very happy to find that it was invaluable!
