This is a quick cache to get you heading in the right direction on the way to the Haystack Hide on the summit of Haystack Mountain. The trail to this cache is very rocky and wet. Stay on the trail for this one -- bushwhacking here is tough. The trail wanders in a direction that seems off course, but it gets you there.
From Route 9, take Haystack Road. Take the second left onto Chimney Hill Road. Turn right onto Binney Brook Road. This winds steeply up. At the stop sign, turn right onto Upper Dam Road and bear left at the next intersection. The trail head (see parking coordinates) is on your right, marked with a Haystack Trail sign.
Begin the hike on an old, rocky road. After about half a mile (Waypoint 1), turn left off the road. Do not continue to the reservoir. Follow the trail as it heads south and then begins to climb onto the ridge. Continue on, if you like, to the summit.
