7TH IN A SERIES OF LIGHTHOUSE CACHES
Located in a rest area along the St Croix River with a view of the Whitlock's Mill lighthouse. Footpaths lead away from the rest area to the cache area.

There are several felled trees (one large one in particular) across the path. This was done in 2005 to open up the view of the lighthouse from the picnic area. You can go under or over them or avoid them all together by a bit of bushwhacking. They are the only real challenge for this cache and terrain has been rated accordingly.

The cache is a small camouflaged container with a log book and a few items for trading. Small items ONLY if trading. Tree cover may make accuracy of gps off.

Note: The lighthouse can be seen from the picnic area, NOT from the cache area. Look for the sign.

THIS CACHE IS NOT WINTER FRIENDLY!!! PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE IF FROZEN!

AS ALWAYS, PLEASE LEAVE THE CACHE AS WELL OR BETTER HIDDEN THAN YOU FOUND IT

Maine still has several of these structures at various lighthouse sites. They are often mistaken for old lighthouses.

Out caching with markirene & incepit.
We got this one on our caching trip in Maine.
This is cache # 9999 for me. A little snow on the ground but still easy to find.

First fins in Calais. I wanted to get some Maine caches. I'm visiting from New Brunswick, and I decided to come here for a day trip. Left a TB.
