Geocache Description:

Nice walk and views, with a slight climb (total ascent, 150 ft), right on the edge of the city of Manchester. You may have to scramble over some large rocks.

Rock Rimmon park is located on the Manchesta West Side. The easiest way to get there is to take Kelly street west, take a right on Alsace, and left when it ends onto Mason. There is plenty of parking available on the right, at N42 59.919-W71 29.122.

I recommend starting behind the tennis courts. If you look closely, you'll see a couple of zig-zag paths up the hill. There are a lot of paths through this area (climbing the rocks is optional,) only the first 75 ft are a little steep. You will ascend 150 ft by the second waypoint. The waypoints are in bright orange; they are labeled with where you are, and where you are going. These are ledges, so hang onto your children at the top! Everything is away from the front cliffs, no need to go there. This is an occasional nighttime party area; there will be LOTS of broken glass at the top, put shoes on your dog!

The cache is a camouflaged ammo box, in plain sight.

The cache contains:

  • Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon DVD (unopened, in original packaging)
  • A Happy Buddha.
  • Electronic mosquito repellent.
  • Geocache.com Magnetic Bumper Sticker.
  • Japanese Lantern.
  • Bag of assorted foreign coins.
  • Bottle of Jamaican Spring Water.
  • etc, etc.

This is a camera cache, please take a photo or two!

Per CaptHawke's suggestion, I will add some garbage bags, for "Cache in, trash out".

Cache replaced 7/13/03, still a gray ammo box...
