OK, I checked 1st location 10-20-06 and it's right where it should be. With the tree cover and terrain in the area you might have to widen your search. pudentane
UPDATE: 5-10-4, Please make sure that you replace the 2nd clue far enough back so that it stays in place. It must have fallen out of its spot and I found it about 4 feet from where it should have been. I have replaced it and you may have to really hunt for it, especially as it is disquised!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE FINAL STOP FOR CHILDREN UNDER 10. Also, personally I would not try to complete the cache in 1 day unless you are really in for a long hike. I'd do the first 2 stops one day and the last on another day. That's just my personal opinion though.
This geo-cache is dedicated to the memory of my friend Glenn Floyd. Glenn died in a car accident in Wappingers Falls, New York when we were in High School. I believe it was 1973. There was a very special travel bug (that has been MIA since 2004) in this cache that I would like to see make its way back to the east coast. I believe some members Glenn’s family now live in the Atlanta, Georgia area. The travel bug explains the significance of the ladybug. The final location was selected for the abundance of ladybugs there, even in mid March when I placed the final location container. This made the final location very special to me.
Again.... It is my personal opinion that the trek to the final location is VERY difficult and I would not recommend it for children younger than 10.

No luck at stage 3
So far though, it's a very fun cache

Spent the day hiking in the area. Enjoyed the amazing view at the peak, then grabbed the final on the way down.

As we were walking up to GZ at the first way point we saw what just HAD to be the hidey-hole and were very surprised it was empty. Expanded our search area with no joy and finally decided to just take a picture, send it to the CO or previous finder, and find out if we were correct or way off base. We will be back when we have more information.

Found the final with RPieperCO today, but since I haven't done the other stages, I'm not going to claim a find just yet. There were about a million ladybugs in and around the cache - I've never seen so many! Was also thrilled to discover a book from my favorite childhood series (the Boxcar Children) in the cache!! Thanks for the fun adventure!

Set out on one hell of a hike today! I've been wanting to get up Blodgett for so long now! Kerewin0430 was happy to join me on this killer hike! I started this multi a long long time ago. I'm not even sure when to be honest. But I had the final and was patiently waiting for an opportunity to make it up here. Today was the day. After getting to the summit I scouted out the area for this cache. I'll add some pictures shortly. Holy mountains of ladybugs batman!!! Millions upon millions. This cache is so appropriately named it's crazy!! Signed and stamped the log and replaced very gently back. All is well at the final! Thanks for putting this one together!

Could not come up with the first waypoint.

Had found stages 1 & 2 many years ago. Finally got to stage three area & it has seen lots of remodeling. No idea if it's still there.
This is what GZ at stage 3 looks like.

Stage 1 is still there; I had to go re-find it because my GPS receiver dumped all my saved waypoints a few months ago. The coords for stage 2 of this cache were one of the waypoints that I lost. I stuck a dirty old stuffed hedgehog that I found at the posted coords for stage one; good cammo actually. Find the hedgehog, and find stage 1.
