Geocache Description:


Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year

He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
Four if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



This cache is located in a Surrey Park with no name. There are two ways to approach the cache, a FOUR if by land or a TWO if by sea. Please do not try to approach the cache by going down the cliff. There is a nice shiny new trail that goes straight to the cache location. The four stars for terrain may be a bit high now that the new trail is built but if we were to change that, we would have to change the name as well.. If you come by sea be aware that the terrain rating will rise as the tide falls.


Take care, have fun and good luck.
