Stover, Stover, Let Cachers come over! Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

Beautiful Stover Preserve. Lovely hike along the Passy.

This is one of the prettiest trails I've been on in a long time.

Belfast’s Stover Preserve is a unique 53-acre conservation property located along the Passagassawakeag River that provides an opportunity to enjoy a scenic riverside nature walk within close proximity to downtown Belfast.

The Preserve offers a 1.5-mile loop trail through a range of habitats including a dense white pine forest, a wet hardwood riparian forest, and a thick hemlock grove that lines the Passagassawakeag River. Arriving at the banks of the Passagassawakeag, the trail offers visitors an opportunity to experience a wild and undeveloped section of Belfast’s principle river.

The Stover Preserve was purchased from Lee and Dona Stover of Waldo in 2004 as part of the Passagassawakeag Greenway Campaign, a community-based effort to protect a corridor of natural lands along the Passagassawakeag River.

Please log any wildlife you observe while on this beautiful hike.
