Geocache Description:

Years ago I planned 16 caches along the Minuteman Bike Path spread between the Bedford depot and route 128. I have scaled that number back to 8. This is the seventh of those caches.

The Minuteman Bike Path (MBP)
The Minuteman Bikeway was built in 1992 over the "rail-banked" Lexington Branch railroad corridor between Bedford and West Cambridge, Massachusetts, which passes through suburban Lexington and Arlington long the way. The trail received its name from the fact that it closely follows the path of the colonial Minutemen during the Battle of 1775.

The Cache
This cache location was one of the first that I thought of using along the bike path. It puts you at a spot where you can see the surrounding wetlands which are alive with all sorts of plants and animals. The colors at different times of the year are incredible. Also at this spot you will see a lot of planes flying overhead as they make an approach to Laurence G. Hanscom Field. Of course you also have a lot of muggle traffic along the bike path. Since this is such a straight and flat stretch you will be able to see the muggles from quite the distance.

To retrieve the cache just get off the bike trail and take a break. When you think its safe, you can make a quick grab. Be weary of passing muggles and as always, please put the cache back exactly as you found it so the next cacher can enjoy the thrill of finding it.

Good luck and good caching,
Loch Cache


Congrats to The Dukes on the quickest FTF ever
