RBT4 - A cache for Shortman Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Loch Cache: This cache is accessible from the trails to the east and is on conservation land.

Unfortunately, the owners of the land to the west/north were overly aggressive posting no trespassing signs making the one time publicly accessible route no longer available.

Rather than trying to direct cachers to a less direct route which most likely would be ignored, and not wanting to hear about the fact the most direct route is blocked by the no trespassing signs, I have decided to simply archive this cache.

Geocache Description:

Now that I have placed a few caches along the Minuteman Bike Path south of the Bedford Depot Park I decided to turn my sights west to the Reformatory Branch Trail. This is the fourth of several caches I have placed along that trail.


Reformatory Branch Trail (RBT)
The Boston & Maine Railroad’s Reformatory Branch was built in 1873 to Lowell Road in Concord and in 1879 it was continued 2.5 miles further west to Reformatory Station (across from the State Prison). There were four passenger stations on the line: Shady Hill, West Bedford, Concord and Reformatory. The branch was abandoned in 1962, and the right-of-way was purchased by Bedford and Concord. The trail is unimproved but it is still a good bike path. Along the way it skirts Great Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary.

The Cache
This should be a straight forward traditional. Not every cache can be a devious, twisted puzzle or a super clever hide or a 5/5 now can it. I did choose a site that will take a little bit of walking and a little bit of searching. I’d say leave no stone unturned, but that would be misleading.

Good luck and good caching,
Loch Cache
