Geocache Description:

Near the Guilford Boy Scout Cabin in Whittemore Park, next to the Guilford Fairgrounds off Weatherhead Hollow Road. Just a short walk up the driveway, the cache is slightly off the beaten path but is easy to get to. There can be some elevation change at the cache site, so watch your footing. When it snows, it might be a little hard to find the cache.

Whittemore Park is administered by the Guilford Recreation Club. The Park includes a Little League baseball field, a paved tennis court with basketball hoops. There are several Eagle Scout projects including a picnic pavilion, a stone fireplace and tree identification plaques. The area is open for public use. The Scout Cabin was built about 2001. The Scoutmaster at the time, Lee Brunswick, thought it would be great to have a place to use as a base camp in the winter. Special note should be made that this couldn't have happened without woodspeople Jon and Tammy Sargent. Troop 403 (I'm the most recent former Scoutmaster) used it for weekend campouts and also for weekly meetings. The Scout Troop is no longer active but the cabin gets occasional use by the local Cub Scouts. It's available for other groups, too.

To get to the cabin, go past the baseball field and look for the unmarked driveway with a gate. You'll see the green-roofed picnic pavilion. (Don't go past this driveway -- the road dead-ends at a house.) One small car can park at the gate. The cabin and the cache are a short walk. The cache container is a black duct tape covered plastic container with a screw-on top. It's starting out with my new Boy Scout Slide TB and I'm leaving the Grabby TB. The container is chock full of an assortment of things like Halloween creatures, stickers, pencils, duct tape, little carabiners, and more. I won't leave a hint yet.

Congratulations to the first finder, KASHK9.
