This is Stage Three of a ten stage multi that follows the Middlesex Canal. The coordinates to begin this stage are located in the log box for Middlesex Canal Cache Stage Two . You must find Middlesex Canal Cache Stage One and Two before logging a find for this stage. No jumping ahead allowed.
This stage consists of one micro , one ring and a log box. The micro is a film canister.
SEASONAL UPDATE 7/22/08
The MICRO was changed to a film canister when I replaced it in March. The cache page has been revised to reflect this change.
The RING was most recently found 100 yards from where it is supposed to be. If you find it please remove it. A new ring has been placed in the correct location. The best way to it is through a narrow opening in the brush about five feet from the nearest Middlesex Canal marker.
The FINAL cache has been replaced entirely. I moved it from its original location to a spot that is slightly more accessible with no apparent poison ivy. If you find the old one please remove it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 7/29/08 It seems I left out some critical information when I replaced the final last week - the coords for part one of the next stage! Using the coordinates for the final of stage 3 add .274 to the North decimal minutes and .010 to the West decimal minutes. This will bring you to the ring for stage 4.
Also the ring for stage 3 should have had "H=7" written on it. I will make repairs when I am back in town.
