Geocache Description:

It's just off the Appalachian Trail in Clarence Fahnestock State Park in Putnam County, NY. It's a 3 x 7 x 10 green ammo can.

Initial contents include; cache note, log book, disposable camera to take pictures of yourself, disposable camera to trade, little baseball mugs, beanie lobster, inflatable sword, alligator pen, blank zip disc, blank audio cassette, and the Tag Hauer Travel Bug.

We're sure you're wondering exactly what a Yesta is. My dear old Dad used to make up silly affectionate names for us kids. Of course, I've kept up the tradition, and one of the names has "stuck around" over the years. The strict definition of a Yesta is "a loved one". So the kids are little yestas, there are bigger yestas and baby yestas. There's good yestas and mean ol' yestas, cranky yestas and happy yestas. You get the idea!

So be a good yesta and make sure no-one sees you as you enjoy finding your treasure, as it's fairly near the trail. Hide the cache well again, and take a picture of yourself with the camera!
