X-SERIES PROTOTYPES
This cache is NOT
LOCATED at the ABOVE
COORDINATES!
They are for a suitable parking
area.
This is part of a
series of 23 caches dedicated to the American Aircraft of
WWII. Each cache is
dedicated to a particular aircraft model and can be logged as an
individual find. The
series consists of 16 regular caches and 7 mystery
caches. The series will
be divided into 5 sub-series, one for each category of aircraft
(
Fighters,
Bombers,
Seaplanes, and
X-series Prototypes) and a final series consisting of three of
the most recognizable aircraft of WWII. (
P51 Mustang,
B17 Flying Fortress and
B29 Super Fortress).
This mystery cache is the X-SERIES PROTOTYPES
category of the series.
To find it, you must first find XB35(
GC1D45A),
XF5U(
GC1D45P),
XB36(
GC1D45V) and XB42(
GC1D460).
Each log has a code that is to be used to find this caches’
final location.

Using the
idea that these planes are prototypes, I have used
more prototype-“like” cache-tainers for this and other caches in this
X-series.
Unlike the other sub-series of “The American WWII Aircraft”,
these caches are more spread out and are not designed as a
“park once” style. Although they are still located along the
Randolph trails, possibly in parts you have already
visited.
This series is located along the Randolph
Trails. These
trails are well maintained and easy to walk. Terrain will vary from 1.5 to 3.0,
but check each cache page for specifics.
Trail maps are readily available at most of the trail
heads. Randolph’s trail system runs a 16-mile
course traversing five parks, the Clyde Potts Reservoir
Watershed and 2,000 acres of pristine open space. The trails
link together schools with neighborhoods and connect to
Patriots’ Path at Combs Hollow and Old Brookside. Randolph’s trails should be
viewed as a work in progress as the township continues to
pursue easements and funding to expand our trail network. The
township funds 90% of design and construction costs through
state grants and developer contributions. Over $1.5 million
in state grants and developer contributions has been invested
in Randolph’s trails. Open year round, the trails
can be used from dawn to dusk and are closed at night. During
the winter months, there is no snow or ice removal, providing
a wonderful opportunity for cross-country skiers and snowshoe
enthusiasts.
This cache is DIRECTLY
trailside. No
need to bushwack, and be careful
of Muggle
activity.
