Located on the Loop Trail on Tumbledown Mountain. Requires no bushwacking, but not an easy find.
This is a black & red 5 gallon bucket loaded with an impressive selection of items! Please see the list below. Do to the tree cover, mountainous region, and steep elevation of the cahe location, your GPS (or mine) may not exactly pinpoint the location. Winter treks will require caution, as will hikes after heavy rain. Excellent scenery when you finally reach the top.
The following is a brief description provided by Mainelyhiking.com:
Tumbledown Mountain 3068`
The Loop Trail
starts 5.8 miles from Weld corner. There is a clearing just across from the start of the trailhead. The blue blazed trail rises slowly crossing a brook a couple of times, passing a huge Tumbledown boulder. The trail becomes quite steep opening out onto some the Great Ledges where the views of the 700` cliffs of Tumbledown are outstanding. At this point at a large cairn, the Loop Trail to the saddle turns right. After crossing a brook the steep climb continues, (this is one of the best parts of the trail). Near the top of the gully a side trail takes you into a fissure cave known as Fat Mans Misery. Above this you will find an opening in the boulders with iron rungs, you will not be able to have your pack on as you go thru the opening, just pass your pack up to your fellow hiker making these tight quarters easier to navigate. Any of you claustrophobics beware. From there the trail will summit within a 100 yards or so. The trail leads east and west.
