Whitlock's Mill Lighthouse Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Red Witch: I checked out the cache today as promised and went equipped as MARTES suggested. I too found a second container which was very wet after the recent rains and no log book in the actual cache. I'm just not going to have a cache in an area with this kind of activity going on so I am archiving it. Too bad as it is an old cache found way back on page 304 of 319. In this era of park and grab caches it isn't too often that one lasts this long anymore. I also stopped into the Calais PD and reported the matter for which they were most appreciative so hopefully they will keep an eye on the area.

Geocache Description:

7TH IN A SERIES OF LIGHTHOUSE CACHES

Located in a rest area along the St Croix River with a view of the Whitlock's Mill lighthouse. Footpaths lead away from the rest area to the cache area.

There are several felled trees (one large one in particular) across the path. This was done in 2005 to open up the view of the lighthouse from the picnic area. You can go under or over them or avoid them all together by a bit of bushwhacking. They are the only real challenge for this cache and terrain has been rated accordingly.

The cache is a small camouflaged container with a log book and a few items for trading. Small items ONLY if trading. Tree cover may make accuracy of gps off.

Note: The lighthouse can be seen from the picnic area, NOT from the cache area. Look for the sign.

THIS CACHE IS NOT WINTER FRIENDLY!!! PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IF FROZEN!

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE LEAVE THE CACHE AS WELL OR BETTER HIDDEN THAN YOU FOUND IT
