Geocache Description:

You are looking for a well-hidden micro. Bring your own pen or pencil. Have fun, be stealthy, and Happy Cachin'!

Because of the design of the "garden" this may not be available at all times, especially during the highest tide.

"The site of MoonTide Garden was formerly a holding crib that was used to dispose of dredge materials. The new park includes opening up the north side of the pier as a tidal garden looking out toward Casco Bay, emphasizing the dramatic 11' tides of the region. From the pier visitors can see lines of eelgrass radiating outwards with a line of boulders in the center. Once fully grown, the green stripes of the grass will be visible even when covered by the water of the moon tide. The boulders have been covered with aluminum leaf, demarcating the point that water reaches during the highest moon tide. The height of the aluminum leaf line marks the memory of the tide. When the tide is out, the MoonTide Garden is a waterfront park with silver boulders, marsh vegetation, trees, and a boardwalk. During the high moon tide, the water rises up to meet the silver line created by the aluminum leaf."
