Geocache Description:

Easy walking crossing various trails. Cache is less than 500 feet in but take more time to enjoy the trails.

Cape Cod is blessed with a great many freshwater kettle ponds (as many as 365--one for every day of the year, according to one source). These ponds are unique, in that many of them have remained in a clear, pristine, natural condition.

The ponds on Cape Cod are a product of the Ice Age. When the glacial ice front retreated some 18,000 years ago, it left behind huge chunks of ice that were wholly or partially buried in the sandy outwash plain. As these ice blocks melted, the ground surface became indented.

At the parking area located at N41 °49.876 W69 °59.871, see the waterway where a brook from saltwater serves as a transport to Bridge Pond and then Great Pond for the final destination for herring (alewife). During the spring, literally thousands of these "anadromous" fish return to their place of origin to spawn and lay eggs (and often die in the process) to renew the cycle that will begin with new "fry" returning to the ocean at the end of summer.

A trail leads to Wiley Park where there’s a playground and restroom facilities.

This cache is located along a trail which meanders by Bridge Pond and Great Pond. Glimpses of each pond are available at various “fishing spots”. The cache is less than 500 feet in, but take the time to walk the pine needled trails. This is a traditional ammo box loaded with kids’ stuff plus.

Limited parking is available at a pull-off at N41 °49.876 W69 °59.871.
