I have set up what I think is the first GPS Cache / Stash in MA state. It is a "suburban cache", easy to reach from anywhere in the greater Boston area. The location easy to get to on foot but slightly off the beaten path. There is some treasure that will be amusing to Boston-area residents. Also, head 100 meters South and 100 meters North for some great area views!

254 ft elevation.

Good hunting!

Note from g-o-cashers: Please don't leave Travel Bugs in this cache. The exposed location of this cache means that many non-cachers visit the container, sign the log and in some cases take travel bugs. I'm going to leave it this way because I think it is important to preserve the original location, but it is not safe to leave bugs here.

Cache Logs

November 9 by MSwahoo & the Cache Hound Posse (2226 found) I am in town for a business meeting and decided to take the time to find this old one. I was not expecting the climb but it was well worth it after sitting several hours on the plane and the views once I got to the top. Thanks for keeping this one around. TFT [view this log]

November 7 by C&TH (3616 found) It took us a couple of passes to find the trailhead and parking but once we found it we made quick work of the trail and were at GZ in no time. It was dark out so we had to use our flashlights. The nighttime city views were amazing! We found the cache out in the open and tried to re-hide better. We would have loved to do this cache in the daytime but we were so close and after reading all the logs about how this cache has lots of non-cacher visitors we didn't want to take any chances and we went for it. The last entry in the log was from a non-cacher. Another 'oldest' cache! We love to leave trackables in the 'oldest' caches we visit but didn't per the owners request. TFTC! [view this log]

October 31 by dbrockhouse (2177 found) Even though it was Halloween night - it was time to get the cache logged. Passing through the area and had when I saw that the oldest cache in Mass was going to be right under my nose - had to get it. Found the trailhead and headed up. Turned off and bushwacked to within 100' of the cache and figured I was heading in the wrong direction. Rerouted and went all the way around - bad choice. But in the end, found the cache. Easy find. SL - Thanks for keeping this old one going - love them. Caching from the state of South Dakota [view this log]

October 31 by JonInNH1 (1003 found) Find #1000!I came down from NH to find this historical cache for my milestone. I brought my family along for the occasion. We enjoyed the very warm day and the views near by. Thanks for the cache! [view this log] #1000. Woo Hoo!

October 29 by Savage Hiker (60 found) Well ya just never know these days when some other old thing will be gone for good, so I figured I had better get this oldie before it's too late. I must say I was really surprised by how many people (namely teenagers) visit this cache without the need for a GPS. Easily seen by any passerby, once you get to the general area. Lots of notes in the log from non-cachers, so not at all safe to leave a TB, Coin or just about anything for trade. But still cool to see this early bird is still around. T-HAPPYKRAUT Wooden Nickel, L-N, SL. Thanks for the OLDIE!! [view this log]
