This is a two stage multi cache located at Kennedy Dells Park in New City. Both stages of the cache are ammo cans. I had a lot of signal bounce at the second stage, so please let me know if I need to adjust the coordinates. This cache was placed in honor of biga800 because I know how much he hates those magnetic trees! ;)
Both stages of the multi are located within a few feet of a trail. There is no need to bushwack. Please be sure to rehide both stages of the cache so they cannot be seen from either direction while walking by on the trail.
About Kennedy Dells Park:

A portion of the land's forty acres is farmed by George Smith and Sons Inc. growing some of Rockland's finest Sweet Corn, and preserving the fields for future active sports development. Crum Creek bounds the Park on the westerly side along which winds a hiking trail that looks down at the stream below.
