Start out by crossing the foot bridge, turn left, and from there you are on your own. Happy caching. The trail brings you along the Ipswich river.
The container is a 10”x6”x6” Lock ‘n Lock box. There is not much bushwhacking as it is a pretty open area. It was initially stocked with a Push ‘n Flip car, a Hi-Flier Yo-Yo, a pickup truck, a hot wheels racer, a RickAnn Signature piece, 3 Travel Bugs and a FTF prize. Please limit swaps to good trade items, Travel Bugs and Geo coins. Travel Bugs may also come and go on occasion. We left a log book to sign and date and a special prize for the FTF. This is an easy walk through the woods. The surrounding woods are dotted with white pine, with fine broad paths carpeted in layers of pine needles for walking or horseback riding. Enjoy the many trails in the area. Be careful of ticks, mosquitoes and road apples, especially in the summer. Enjoy the many trails in the area. Have fun.
Activities

If you should find a travel bug in this cache or any other cache, please be sure to log it electronically twice, once when you grab it and again when you put it in another cache. This must be done so that its travels can be tracked. You must be a signed on member to do this. If you are not a signed on member of geocaching.com and do not intend to become a member, please do not take the travel bug. Membership is free. Join up and get in on the fun.
Please use caution when hunting and replacing a cache. A muggled cache could lead to the loss of Travel Bugs or Geocoins. Be wary of your surroundings.
Congrats to Cape Ann Carol for another FTF.
