Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden in a little known area in Hubbardston.  There are a total of three caches in the area (2 of ours and a TB Hotel.)

Blast Off


There's an alien in my bedroom
He says he comes from space
He's got three wobbly eyes
And a great big purple face

He came here in a spaceship
And it's parked in my backyard
He says he's got no petrol
So going home will be hard

He says it runs on rubbish
Like crisp bags and banana-skin
And he really really wants to know
If I can help him

You see he misses his family
His mum and his three dads
And the thought of never seeing them
Is making him feel sad

So I'm saving up my rubbish
For the alien in my room
So I can wave goodbye to him
And watch his spaceship ZOOM!

--- Louise Nilon


Parking coordinates are listed. This area is right off of Rt. 68 between the center of Hubbardston and Gardner. You have to look carefully to see the small dirt road that leads to a parking area, depending on what vehicle you have, you might want to park on the side of Rt. 68. I have a non AWD SUV and have no problems. Please don't let the condition of the road/parking area dissuade you from doing this cache, it is a relatively level walk on a well defined old cart road. The walk is about .6 miles round trip for the three caches.


GeoCaptRex thought of this cache, when I heard his idea, I just couldn't wait to help him put it together. Both of our caches in the area were thought of by him and he did a lot of the work for them. I am so proud that he has caught the bug, his is my Geo-Partner-In-Crime! To start the cache off, GeoCaptRex has added some goodies (for the kids) and his trackable.


When you find the cache, the best way (and suggested way) is the help the container to blast off and you will have the cache in your hand! It should be winter friendly.


Our GPS was very jumpy today, so I hope that the coordinates are good. Let me know if they are not.


**Tick and Misquito Warning** They were not that bad today, but I would recommend bug spray.


Happy Caching.
