I recommend parking nearby on the Fellsway East (see waypoint). The cache is accessible by a variety of paths; the parking area normally has a trail map. If you like climbing, take the Rock Circuit Trail; otherwise Black Rock Path or White Rock Path should do nicely.
The cache itself was originally placed near four tall pine trees, three of which have since been cut down. Nearby there is an open, rocky place that is very pleasant on a sunny day. Another reason for placing a cache here is that about 500 feet to the northeast, on the Rock Circuit Trail (white blazes), there are some spectacular views of the town of Melrose.
The cache initially contained:
- For the First to Find, a trail map of the Middlesex Fells Reservation.
- A logbook (Spider-Man!) and mechanical pencil
- "Magic" gloves—one size fits all
- A singing top
- A keychain calculator
- Two AA batteries for those hungry GPS units
- A necklace shaped like Christmas lights
- A small bag of marbles, with shooter
About 50 feet from the cache, East by South, is the benchmark MY2791.
This cache has a nasty habit of creeping out into the open.The cache is supposed to be "well hidden." This means that you should be able to walk right by the hiding place without seeing the cache—after all, it took the great Loch Cache 20 minutes to find this cache! Please, so that other people can have as much fun as you had, make sure that when you leave the cache it is at least as well hidden as when you found it, and please replace any objects you may have moved while hunting for the cache.
