Google Earth view of our hike, looking north-west. We started at the red push-pin on the right side. The yellow push-pins show where the geocaches were. And of course that's Bard Reservoir in the background.

We took the road back to the start to make a full loop, and to find some different kinds of caches along the roadside. This one was on the guardrail.
