Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Breakheart Reservation. You will need to go on the Saugus River Trail and hike for a lil bit. You'll reach an intersection and turn on to the Mill Site Trail. (look for the sign and blue blaze markings) From there, it's short little hike to ground zero.

A linen mill was built back at ground zero in 1810. It produced sail duck for boats and soon went out of business as the war of 1812 ended and the need for sail duck diminished. The old mill dam is all that remains today of the original mill.

The cache is regular size. There is no need to tear things apart at ground zero. Indeed, the cache should be partly visible and is meant to be an easy find. Please place everything back as you found it. Best of luck and have fun!
