Geocache Description:

Geo-Crush Is in the Mt. Tom State reservation. Go into the woods right at the "Stone crusher"

Note: This cache involves a very steep section of terrain and may be inaccessible under certain conditions. Please use caution when navigating the hill!

Cache is in a Black ammo box. Contents include a Log book, pens, Computer chips, Golf ball, tile samples, and a Red cross saftey guide. Have fun up on the mountain because there are some senic views!

Note: There is a $2 entry fee for cars (I think only on weekends). Either walk in (not reccomended), and make sure enjoy a picnic table and a nice drive while you are up there!
