Geocache Description:

This series of caches is placed along the newly opened Whiskeag Trail, which runs from the YMCA to the Thorne Head Preserve. The trail is 5 miles long and runs along the Whiskeag Creek. At Thorne Head the fresh water mixes with the brackish water of the Kennebec Estuary. An estuary is a body of water where fresh and salt water mix. The water in the lower Kennebec is salty because the tide carries salt water from the ocean upstream against the current of the river.

There are beautiful views from this cache. It is not necessary to go over the cliff. The cache is at shoulder height, if you are as tall as me. Bring a pen/pencil.
