Remains of an Old Factory Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Sapience Trek: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Cache is an ammo can. Well hidden in Upson Park.

Cache is well stocked and also has a travel bug inside. You can take the bike path from Exchange Street/Mill Street or you can go to Upson Park directly. I recommend the bike path, as it is a nice walk along the canal. If you choose the bike path look for Joseph A Scapilliti Memorial Bridge. Once at bridge travel west to the end of the road and you will find the entrance to bike path. The cache site is amongst the remains of an old factory. These factories were powered by water channeled through the underground water cave.

- Well worth a visit if you have time.
