Mason Rail Trail South Progressive
Challenge #1 This cache series will bring you to a nice old rail
trail that runs from Greenville, New Hampshire to Ayer,
Massachusetts. The trains used to take passengers to and from
Boston and carry granite from the nearby quarries to the world. Now
the railroad bed offers pleasant travel to hikers, mountain bikers
and horseback riders.
The first cache (#1) has been placed
near a trailhead. We would like to invite you to place another
cache in this series further along the trail.
The guidelines are simple:
(1) You are NOT required to place a cache to participate in this
series, but we hope that you enjoy finding the caches and exploring
the old rail bed along the way.
(2) All caches should be traditionals. No micros, multis, or
puzzles. Caches must be placed within 100 feet of the trail and
have a difficulty rating of 3 or less.
(3) New caches must be placed at least 0.25 mile from existing
caches to meet Geocaching.com density
requirements for this cache series. You can place as many new
caches as you wish as long as this separation is maintained.
(4) The next cache should be named “Mason Rail Trail South
Progressive Challenge #2” (or whatever consecutive number
would apply). The short description should read "This cache is
being placed as part of The Mason Rail Trail South Progressive
Challenge. Please go to waypoint GC1FB5J for complete
details.”
(5) New caches do not necessarily have to be placed in order.
For example, If you can fit a cache between #3 and #4 that meets
the separation requirements (.25 mile ) you may place such a cache
and name it #3.5.
(6) If you intend to place a cache as part of this series please
post a note log letting other cachers know.
(7) You MUST reside within a reasonable distance to be able to
maintain this cache. YOU are responsible for maintaining the cache
YOU decide to place, not another nearby local cacher. There will be
no adopting of caches for the sake of maintenance.
(8) Geocaching.com
Volunteer Reviewers have the final decision on what can and cannot
be published as a part of this series.
Things are some what over grown south of Turnpike Rd in Townsend
MA so this series will end there for now.
I would also like to CHALLENGE all cachers to make sure that
every cache in this series has at least 1 TRACKABLE ITEM in it at
all times.
Thank you
wemedge for pointing out this untapped trail and your
input on the cache listing.
