Geocache Description:

Located on the Hinckley School campus. Trailhead and parking behind the L.C.Bates Museum. Maps are available in the foyer of L.C.Bates Museum and also at the Prescott Building, both located on campus.

This is a really nice trail system that includes both hiking and biking trails. This is a pretty straight forward multi cache that is on only a portion of the whole trail system. This trail system is part of Healthy Maine Walks, which can be found at this link:

****ATTENTION**** The above listed coordinates listed are for the Parking place only. The coordinates for stage I of the multi are: N. 44. 39.605'
W. 069 37.779'

To get to stage one, stay on the trail closest to the field, continue on until you reach Roosevelt Monument. At Stage I you are looking for a film canister with the coordinates to stage II. It and all other will be hanging from a limb at each given stage until you come to the final cache, which is a medium sized Lock n' Lock. At stage II you will find coordinates to stage III At stage III you will find coordinates to stage IV At stage IV you will find coordinates to stage V At stage V you will find coordinates to stage VI At stage VI you will find coordinates to stage VII which is the final cache.
****POINT TO REMEMBER**** All caches except the final cache are in film canisters hanging from limbs in trees.
Please return these canisters to their original locations and you'll need to bring something to write with or enter the coords manually into your GPSr because there is only one set of coordinates in each canister. Also, Please make sure the final cache is closed & sealed firmly and rehidden good. Thanks.
For those that do Letterboxing, there is a series along this same trail and a couple more on Hinckley's campus.
