Years ago I planned 16 caches along the
Minuteman Bike Path spread between the Bedford depot and route 128.
I have scaled that number back to 8. This is the fifth of those
caches.
The Minuteman Bike Path (MBP)
The Minuteman Bikeway was built in 1992 over the "rail-banked"
Lexington Branch railroad corridor between Bedford and West
Cambridge, Massachusetts, which passes through suburban Lexington
and Arlington long the way. The trail received its name from the
fact that it closely follows the path of the colonial Minutemen
during the Battle of 1775.
The Cache
Along the bike path there are many old relics of the past. There
are signs, posts, some railroad ties, piles of debris and more.
This cache uses and old post and sign for camouflage.
(See Picture) Be careful of muggles when
retrieving and replacing it. This is not my fanciest cache
container, it almost is not even a container, so be careful of
it.
This cache is just slightly off the hard top. The ground is solid
and the cache should be accessible even for the wheelchair bound.
There is some parking in the office park on the west side of the
trail that a lot of people who use the bike path seem to use. There
is also a dirt pull off just up the Westview Street at N42 28.398
W71 15.688. If you park there watch for cars walking back.
Good luck and good caching,
Loch Cache
