Geocache Description:

Franklin Gulf Welcome to the "This IS Franklin Gulf" Series. This cache, "BLOOD MUSHROOM" is the final one of the series. This cache is not found at the listed coordinates. To find the coordinates for this cache you first acquire the clues from the first 3 caches in the Series (see next section for caches in the series).

Franklin Gulf is a undeveloped Erie County Park. It is nestled between North Collins and Eden NY. It has numerous types of terrain and many scenic areas. This series will take you to all parts of the Park via the creek bed. This final is located at the top of the gorge and can be reached via numerous ways.
