"Silliness" at Chautauqua Gorge LbNA #: 5435
Clues| As Wanda was travelling west with some of RTRW's boxes to plant, she noticed a gap in boxes along the southern tier of western NY. So, since the Chautauqua box seems to have gone missing she placed one nearby at Chautauqua Gorge. To get there from Mayville, just north of Chautauqua on Rt 394, go 1.6 miles south on Rt 430, then double that distance west on Hannum Rd to its end (2.6mi paved plus 1.6 dirt), passing several picnic shelters along the way. From the turn around at the end, take the trail heading southwest about 1/4 mile down toward the gorge. Somewhat surprising to see "posted" signs near the water, since this was one of the listings in the "Fifty Hikes in Western New York" book, but no matter - simply take a peek down at the gorge from above and backtrack about 100 steps from the first "posted" sign you got to, and find a tilted, flat-sided rock on the left side of the trail. Behind this rock, tucked discretely under a couple of very small stones (you do not have to move the slightly bigger one) you will hopefully find some silliness. Alive and well as of Nov 6, 2004 |
