My son and I met up with about a dozen Turkeys one day and the two Males were trying to be the best infront of all the females. Impressive sight.

With that I left and was bushwacking back down and met up with 76-CJ7.

Decided to give this one a shot today. Although the cache is not that far from the parking, I am terribly out of shape and had to stop several times to catch my breath. And walking on rocks hidden under leaves can add to the adventure.  Found the cache based upon the hint. GPS had me about 75' away. Walked up the stairs keeping the Private Property signs on my left until I got closer to the top. At that point I decided I better head back down. Dropped A New Star is Born geocoin and took some pictures. TFTC

Parking area is marked with a sign, Shore Dr., high on a sign across the street from the trail head. Left a new Zip-Lock bag for the Log and a mechanical pencil. Also left Handcuffs Geocoin.

For a cache that's been around for a few years, this sure hasn't seen much activity lately...and that's a shame.Fed up with following footprints to caches, I wanted to walk a path less travelled and came by here tonight as it hadn't had a visitor in over two months. I followed a beautiful, gentle trail up, well-packed by snowmobiles. The walk was a bit over a third of a mile, very relaxing and quiet. With snow covering the ground and no footprints to give anything away, the search was *fun*, although the coordinates had me 50-60 feet from where I finally found the cache. I didn't care: the woods were completely silent and beautiful. My one regret was that I couldn't make out the "steps" with their snow cover. I'll definitely be back in the warmer weather! When I was done, I switched off my headlamp and listened to nothingness for a few minutes, then kept it off as I made the return hike in the dark, guided only by the whiteness of the trail. Thanks for the cache, the unexpected area, and the excellent adventure!

The view from the top was nice. It would have been great if a little more of the lake was visible in the open. The cache was a little tricky to locate. I kept losing a signal lock.

Even though we tried to find this cache on a very hot summer day,we were surprised how relatively easy and pain free it turned out to be. Maybe the breeze and the quality of DEET had something to do with it. A nice, big cache, and in good dry shape. Thank you, ducky189 & c5b.
We dropped TB Dino, took the magnet and left 3 CITO Kits, thereby earning another brownie point at this cache: "Fold Bags to help Trash Out" by Inventor. We thought this was a neat idea and went and prepared a dozen of those kits.

Today a fierce battle was waged at the foot of the site of the Auburn Stairs. A well meaning traveler from a distant land began his quest to visit the treasure near the stairs and was immediately harrased by small bands of tiny evil forest creatures. As long as he was moving the evil creatures found it difficult to keep his pace, but when he stopped for any reason they fell upon him in large numbers. Nevertheless he persevered until the site was gained. As he searched for the treasure the evil army fell upon him. At one point it appeared they might drive him off, but his persistence was finally rewarded but not until both sides had suffered many wounds and fierce casualties. After viewing the treasure, the traveler climbed the stairs hoping to be rewarded with a pleasant view, but, alas this was not to be as the tower at the summit has been replaced by a private castle.Don't forget you bug spray or you many suffer the same fate. Co ords seemed a bit off, but during the running battle who can be sure. SFOR 9. Thanks for the hide ducky189 & c5b

This cache hunt ended up much more exciting than I had expected. The stroll up to step was peaceful enough. I took a "poor girl" bottle cover and I left a jefferson. However, as I walked back to the parking area, I saw many emergency vehicle pulling into the very same place. I was much afeared for the capybaronial Cooper (fortunately, it was safe and sound). The rescue folks were rather preoccupied, so I am still curious what the emergency was.

Out of the pink and into the auburn.
The hike wasn't so hard but it was a bit uphill. Then we started an uphill battle. We searched in the wrong area around the zero point and, fortunately, I was wandering afield when Flask read the hint (to herself). I found it almost immeadiately after she ruled herself out of the search so it didn't use much more time. I am kind of sorry we didn't continue up the stairs but there isn't much daylight to burn now.
I took the Flash toy (longtime fan of the comic) and Aladdin and left TX dope (you'll see) and a North Sky geotoken.
And then the questions.[This entry was edited by crashco on Saturday, November 27, 2004 at 7:43:49 PM.]

I've been by this spot few times before. View from the spot of the old tower is great.
The 'squitoes were ferrocious, even with Deep Woods Off.
Nice hide and close to the trail too.

Very nice cache, and a good workout. Ironically, I thought the parking area was as nice as the cache area. Good hide, too. The skeeters were REALLY tough (hence my short log sign-in), but it was a very nice cache The caches namesake was a bit of a surprise. Took the now rescued Georgia Raisin - Bowtie bug, left a Seattle Seahawks golfball. Thanks, Bill the Sox Fan

This was a very good cache area, as noted in previous log about the water, it was gone when we arrived, maybe dried up.We found this at 12:55 pm, an it was an easy cache. Except for the fact that the wind was picking up an it got a bit frilly on the face. Thanks for the hunt, an cache.

A beautiful Sunday morning, crisp cool and sunny. This was a very pleasant walk and I continued to the summit to catch the view of the lake. I enjoyed the view but was surprised to find a house up there. It took away the serenity of a beautiful spot. I took the travel bug and left a NH pocket guide to animal tracks. Thanks for the hunt.

Ice is breaking up nicely, good thing because I would have not had enough traction to make it up the hill. Thanks for not putting the cache up the top of the stairs. Took a whistle and Left a Travel bug I picked up in Texas as well as a bottle cooling thing I found in a Texas cache. TFTC.

Parked by the lake across from the gate. Snowmobiles packed down the trail, places were slippery. A aerobic workout going up! Kept thinking of richcot coming down this hill on cross country skis, yikes!! Found the cache using the above coords from a previous cacher. The container is FULL of nice toys and in good shape. Took a keyring and left a car. Continued to the top of the hill hoping for a good view of the lake, but there are too many trees. TFTC.FISMO-Sharyn, Wayne and Simon the scottie

02/14/04 5:10 PMThe snowmobiles groomed this mountain trail very well. Finding this well hidden cache was the most challenging cache for us so far. Saw a lot of animal tracks and freshly dug holes in the snow but no wildlife. Took: Daisy duck doll
Left: Sunday River sticker and our names Thanks for making #8 our hardest find yet.

after getting three of the caches on massabesic lake, i just barely made it to the stairs. it was dark when i got to the area. found it without too much trouble. i'm lucky i did. i had low batteries and no light. the trip down was the funnest part. i don't think you're supposed to go that fast on cross-country skis. but, i made it down in one piece. thanks for the cache!

Couldn't find anything that looked like a parking area at the parking coords. Found an alternate entrance at the gated road across from the parking area down next to the lake though. Perfect day for a walk through the woods. At 50 degrees it felt like a spring day! Cache coords seems off a bit, but it could have been the tall pines.Very interesting place I might never have discovered on my own. Left two monsters, took handcuffs and a geode. Great fun, thanks!

Perhaps we didn't find the correct place to park, but N 42 59.656' W 071 20.543 (with 6 satellites strong signals) seemed to match the description. We wandered through the forest, taking a scenic route in, still only logging .8 miles round-trip. We took a teacher appreciation Eartgh ball, bungee cord and Yu-Gi-Oh cards, and lerft a rubberband frog, piglet, big popper, red alligator keychain flashlight, break-your-own geode, circus whistle, Daisy Duck figure and a DragonBall-Z character. Thanks for the hide. Tough to get good signals at the exact site, hence the modified coords.

I dont know if they were wrong in my GPS or if the coords were wrong for the parking spot but they seemed way off. I found the cache without much difficulty but like others before me I found the coords to be off to. I TNLN. Thanks for a nice little hike that ended with some wet snow coming down, and a total of 10 caches found on this day. Thanks again.

This is our second find. We were with team Just Jacks - we have yet to buy a GPS. Had a great time - nice hike on trails on which we usually bike. Had a little trouble finding the parking coordinates, but we were familiar with the entry gate so we knew where to go. Didn't have anything to trade so we just logged our visit with JJ.

Nice trail, beautiful area. We had the same problem with coordinates as mentioned in previous logs. Found the gate but could not find the cache without the hint, our gps was reading more in line with the others mentioned here. Took a little yellow car and left a silver jack.

Arrived @ 11:10am. 2nd of 5 caches today. I also had trouble with the parking coords; I parked across from the gate @ N42 59.649, W71 20.563. The cache coords were a little off; I got N42 59.467, W71 20.205. Beautiful day! I took the keychain spotlight, and left a pocket digital recorder (needs a battery, but works quite well). Thx, Dean Owens

I could not find the parking area and gate listed. I parked across from the gate at Massebesic Lake at 59.669 - 20.555. This worked quite well. I was able to find the cache, but I also had different coordinates. My GPS held steady at the site at 59.465 - 20.207. I took a tape measure key chain and left a yellow toy car.It was a nice climb up the stairs to the fire road and old tower site. [last edit: 8/23/2003 10:19:50 AM PST]

I found it, but got different coordinates on my GPS. I won't say these recorded here are wrong, as my GPS jumped from .461 to .467 Northly (never reached as far north at .477) and from .199 to .214 Westerly, all while I STANDING STILL right there at the cache site. Anyway, I took some kid toys, I left some kid toys, plus I left an electronic calendar (new in box) and a bookcrossing book: The Unvanquished by William Faulkner. Please journal it at bookcrossing.com if you take it. (Thanks.) It was a nice hike up the hill on a beautiful day. Got some much needed alone time. And the exercise didn't hurt either. Thanks.

Easy find, My grandson (Nolan 7) and I went out to find this one about 5:15. I have been up to this spot many years ago when the fire tower was still in use. Everything has changed so much, well as much as I can remember anyway. A nice day for a walk in the woods of Auburn........#1Batman

Ryans_geopirates were here!!!We're off work this week, so a cache 5 miles from home is too good to pass up. Ryan found this one, it was his first FIRST. He took the sillyputty I took the TB. Left a couple of HappyMeal toys a NH quarter and a crazybone I think. Nice hide, quick find. We concentrated too hard on the wrong area first. Then Ryan pulled it out. I didnt find parking @ your coords(maybe I put them in wrong) I parked at the end of Shore Rd Right on Chester Rd There was a gate here too. Followed GPS in. The coords I had put me closer to the playground but I couldnt see a gate. Thanx for the hide Chris June and Ryan
