gw0143: Sorry, seems to have disappeared, and not for the first time. Proximity to the houses is also a concern.

Geocache Description:


Robbins Farm Park in Arlington has great views of the Boston skyline and is thus also sometimes referred to as "Skyline Park". We had a family mini-reunion over Columbus Day weekend and took the whole group to the park. The children enjoyed the nice long slides (although one of them was out of commission) and the great playground. The adults enjoyed the views on this warm and sunny fall day with bright blue skies.

This cache is the successor to A Walk in the Park with Nana and Grandad, which was not far from here, in Menotomy Rock Park, also in Arlington. After the cache got moved from its intended location at least twice there, we decided to find a new park for it. There are still two caches in Menotomy Rock Park, but there was no cache in Robbins Farm Park yet, and it sure seems like a place worth visiting!

There is parking along Eastern Ave, and the main entrance to the park is also there. Do enjoy the view from the hill; the cache is just a little downhill from there. Please be respectful of the neighbors and don't search beyond the fences or their virtual continuation.

Please make sure the cache is completely concealed after you return it to its hiding spot. Congrats to debbily77 and shutterbc on their FTF 12 minutes after publication - wow!
