Geocache Description:

This cache one of the "stages" of the Green Monster series hidden in various towns across Massachusetts. Find them all to derive the coordinates for the "Green Monster - Final" cache.


Each cache in the Green Monster series contains one or two "monster numbers" prefixed with "N" or "W". To determine the coordinates for the "Green Monster - Final" cache add up all of the "N" numbers and "W" numbers.

For example:
Cache A - N +20° 10.000
Cache B - N +20° 02.000
Cache C - N +02° 00.300
Final lat   - N 42° 12.300


Please keep a record of the monster numbers you find in the Green Monster caches.

Consult the Green Monster bookmark list for all of the caches in this series.


One Week Headstart
In the interest of fairness, the owners of the Green Monster geocaches will wait one week after the caches are initially published to begin seeking them.

If you are interesting in participating in the Green Monster series by hiding a new cache in your hometown (or anywhere in MA.), please join us! Email the owner of the "Green Monster - Final" cache for details. (Click on the owner's name at the top of the "Green Monster - Final" cache page, and select the "Send Message" or email address link in the owner's profile.)

This cache is hidden on the south slope of Mt. Norrwottuck in the Holyoke Range. Park at the Batchelor St. parking area and follow the Lower Access trail across the bridge to some old stone walls. The cache is hidden along the largest of these stone walls. The container is a "ready to hide", kid-decorated, mauve ammo-can that I won at a event hosted by "Dosido". Obviously, since this is a *very* colorful container decorated by kids, you will need to rehide the cache well. Thanks! There is a nice FTF prize in the log book bag. Good luck!
