Geocache Description:

Two stage cache located in Sudbury's Nobscot Reservation. Parking, N42° 20.970 W71° 27.300, on Brimstone Lane off Route 20. One mile roundtrip from parking to both stages of the cache. While you're here check out Ford's Folly which is a stone's throw from the final cache!

Stage 1 may be difficult in snow over 6" deep.
Stage 2 is accessible at all times.


Spreadin' the gospel of geocaching one cache at a time. This hide is intended to be a "breeder cache," supplying inspiration and materials for geocachers to hide their own caches.

Please trade any items related to geocaching "infrastructure" -- interesting containers, camo or reflective tape, log book supplies, notes with ideas for novel hides or locations/coordinates, "trash out" bags, travel bug tag making supplies. Regular trade items are also hidden in the cache (for kids who don't find film canisters interesting).


Instructions:

1) First stage: Find the camoflaged vitamin bottle at the listed coordinates. Inside are the final coordinates. (You may still find a nail where the clue was originally hidden. The vitamin bottle is within ten feet of that position.)

2) Second stage: Locate the final cache, a 5.5 gallon white pail with lid, and trade geocaching related stuff. A good flashlight is essential equipment for your search.

When replacing both cache containers, please make sure they are at their original coordinates (out of sight of the casual viewer)

3) Email me if you use any of the trade items to create and hide your own cache, and I'll post the name of your new cache here so we can watch this breeder cache bear fruit.

ADVICE
Cache site may be **MUDDY** at times. Leave your loafers and open-toed sandals at home. You may want to open it in a drier spot, so the contents stay clean.

If you are claustrophobic, you may want to ignore this cache. Read the logs. Most finders are able to overcome their initial anxiety, and are glad they did.

Please do not place any food or candy in the cache. There seem to be raccoons living nearby who would probably love to tear into the cache if there's food.
