Geocache Description:

This cache is named for what it's near and what it's hidden under!

From central Dover, take Sixth Street to Country Farm Road (left turn). The road ends at a complex containing a rest home, animal shelter, and yes, the local penitentiary. Park on the right side of the rest home parking lot at N 43 13.153, W070 56.473. You'll see the trailhead, marked by a blue sign. Trail is a 1-mile loop. It starts out paved but quickly switches to packed dirt. Follow the blue arrows at trail junctions. There are lots of places to sit and enjoy the river views; bring a picnic if the bugs aren't too bad!

Vive la France placed this cache for me in honor of my birthday. After I found it, we decided to move it here since unbeknownst to her it was only a matter of feet from Pickering Ponds 1!The cache is a clear, cylindrical screw-top container containing toys and other assorted items. At the outset, the items in this cache are: 2 silly putty eggs, a Slinky, a Splash Bomb, a card with girls' hair pulls, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Matchbox car, a mini California license plate, 2 Backstreet Boys pencils, a BB ruler, and a BB eraser. Our travel bug Justin begins his journey here.

Enjoy!
