Geocache Description:

Park and grab at a fabulous vista on Jewett Road. NOTE - rehidden after learning of the demise of the tree providing cover for the hook on the telephone poll. Still nearby, much less winter-friendly!

This is the sixth of 6 caches located along my favorite biking route, a 33 mile loop that runs through Hopkinton, Webster, Concord and Bow. I use this route to train for a big charity event in the middle of the summer (125 miles in one day!).

Each cache is a bison tube, all absurdly colored but all hidden in a slightly different way. In addition, there is a LETTER written on the top of each log. Save the letter to unscramble the keyword for a cache I will publish in a few weeks which will be located near my loop finish line. You'll need all six to find that cache.

This is the top of the LAST HILL. Not only are you greeted with the relief of the zenith here, but there is a beautiful view of the mountains here and best of all - ALPACAS! If you're here during the day, stand at the edge of the road long enough and these curious and absurdly adorable creatures will come out to greet you.

Sorry FTF and STF - only glory awaits you for the bison tube caches. But I do promise riches beyond your wildest dreams when I hide the finish line cache.
