Geocache Description:

Come and enjoy a nice walk around Sadra Pond and explore the Westborough Bowman Conservation Area.

This is a replacement for the original Charmed by Sandra cache that was ravaged in June 2005. I have moved the cache to a more remote location and updated the coordinates. The container is also MUCH smaller and the trees in the area could prove to make GPSr use challenging.


Sandra Pond is the town reservoir for Westborough. The area is very popular with fishermen, hikers and dog walkers. The pond tends to get pretty low in the summer months as it was dug by hand in the 1800s and is very shallow. During summers of very dry weather, it appears that you could walk across the pond (which you can't).

This cache is another in a series of caches along the Westborough Charm Bracelet trail system. The Charm Bracelet is a "loop" trail around Westborough that connects various parcels of open space (the Charms). The Bowman Conservation Area is one of the charms. (visit link) When complete the Charm Bracelet will be close to 30 miles long.

Check out the bookmark for Westborough Charm Bracelet Caches for a listing. Be sure to visit those areas as well.

Parking for this cache is either at Minute Man Park N42 14.546 W071 36.170 along Upton Road or at the Bowman Street parking lot N42 14.105 W071 36.535.

You should be able to follow trails to within 50 yards of the hiding spot. The cache is a small "tupperware" type container which is only big enough for the log book and a couple of pencils. Small trade items will fit.

If you logged a find for the previous "Charmed by Sandra" feel free to log a second find for this one.
