This cache takes you to two parks in Auburn dedicated to Dr. Robert
Goddard, who is often considered the father of modern rocketry. The
listed coordinates will take you to the site of a historic first in
rocketry. It was one of the stepping stones that has ultimatly
taken us to the moon and beyond and it happened right in Auburn,
Massachusetts.
Look for a micro at the listed coordinates. There are some stone
walls nearby, but there is no need to take them apart, so please
don't. Just put the micro back the way you found it. While here,
take the time to check out the monuments marking this historic
site. The micro will contain the coordinates of the final cache
which is a short drive away. There is ample parking near both cache
sites. Near the location of the second cache, you can see a replica
of Goddard's famous rocket...no it's not the big one! Cache is a
camouflaged lock n' lock box. Please try to rehide it out of view
of muggles. There is plenty of natural concealment material on the
ground. Thanks.
Enjoy!
