Easy to find cache located along the newly built Mountain Division
Trail that runs from Standish, Maine to Windham, Maine.
Park at the Standish end of the Mountain Division Trail at the
Johnson Field Recreation Area located at these coordinates:
N43° 45.743, W70° 30.997. From there it is about a 1.25
mile hike along the MDT trail. Bikes, horses, wheelchairs and
snowmobiles are also allowed on this trail, but no other motorized
vehicles (except for trail maintenance or emergency) and especially
no ATV's!
The Mountain Division Trail (MDT) runs 4.5 miles along the old
Maine Central Railroad tracks from the town of Standish through the
town of Gorham to the town of Windham in Maine, USA.The Mountain
Division is a 50 mile transportation corridor linking North Conway,
New Hampshire to Portland, Maine. It was abandoned by Guilford
Railroad in 1994 (from Windham to Fryeburg, Maine) and then
purchased by the Maine Division of Transportation in 1997. The
trail was built in 2002/2003 with funding from the Federal Highway
Administration and the Maine Department of Transportation as the
first phase of a project to develop a multi-use trail along the
entire length from Windham to Fryeburg.
On July 31st, 2005 we replaced the original container with an
ammo box and replaced the missing log book. The cache was
originally in a standard 4 liter clear plastic Rubbermaid with a
blue rubber seal around the top.
Enjoy!

Decided to take my daughter out for a hike and a cache for her birthday. We hiked in from Johnson Field. It was a fairly easy find, I don't know if this is the way it was supposed to be hidden.  It was lying on the ground in plain sight, but with a few branches over it. I left it exactly the way I found it, but you might want to take a look at it to make sure. No travel bug to be found. My son took a small puzzle, and he left a dinosaur.Logged from my phone using the Geocache Navigator by Trimble

Great day for hiking! Found easily while out for walk with partner, JR! A number of people signed log book but have not logged on. Did not see TB.

Nice hike with the family. Found the cache and then the boys loved trying to catch tadpoles in Snake Pond.

Not too happy with the last cachers, DCShipman. They only have 6 finds and it shows. The cacher before them said they left a TB but there was none in the cache and it wasn't logged as taken. Also, the cache is just laying on top of the ground in plain sight from even the trail. I covered it up at least.
