As of 4/09, there are several nearby
parking lots for $10-12/day. This cache is placed with convention
visitors in mind. The start point is on the Trade Center grounds
but you will not be required to go indoors. Start to finish this
course is about 2.5 miles. Your actual mileage may
vary, of course. To find the cache you must discover a clue at each
of the five stages, including the start point. Each clue is a
single digit. The terrain is more or less flat and the scenery
above average. The clues are very easy to find so you can keep
moving and keep that heart rate up. Begin your journey at
the posted coordinates. Look NW from the upper level plaza
of the Boston World Trade Center to see where you’re going
next.
5/07 The cache has been replaced and the clues have been updated
for better accuracy.
