Congrats to zugbug for quietly reaching 1000 finds!

Zug Bug Fly

The Zug Bug nymph pattern is a popular fly fishing lure used for trout fishing. It was invented by Cliff Zug as an immatation to a caddis fly larvae.


Still waters run deep is an idiom that definitely applies to zugbug. While remaining the calm within the geocaching storm his partner with geo-dog have created around him, zugbug has amassed 1,000 finds in 9 months. His career has allowed him to geocache in about 20 of the 50 States. On catching zugbug in a reflective moment away from the whirlwind that usually surrounds him, one will realize he is the outdoorsy force behind the adventure image of his geo-team. His geocaching preference is in finds with a twist, especially those along woodsy trails. Hey Zug, this Bugs for you!

The Powow Conservation Area is a 134-acre town-managed natural area along the eastern shore of Lake Gardner. It includes Camp Kent Environmental Center, the meadows of Battis Farm, and a portion of Powow Hill. Lake Gardner was formed in1872 by damming the Powow River for mill power, drinking water, and ice harvesting. The Lake is a stop over for migratory water fowl along the Eastern Fly Way. Powow Hill is the highest point in Essex County with views to the Atlantic Ocean. The radio tower topped drumlin with now retired ski tows was once a Native American settlement. Battis Farm is the site of community gardens and a popular dog run. Camp Kent Environmental Center was once A Girl Scout Camp that is now run by the town as a nature center. Trails run the length of the area.

We suggest bringing tweezers along to help with retrieval of the Waypoint #1 hint scroll. You will find a nano log roller tool attached to Waypoint #1 to ease in the replacement of the hint scroll.
