Geocache Description:


Bull Hill - View
This is a wonderful winter cache. Snowshoe or ski to GZ

No need to dig

 

The coordinates listed are for the parking area; the trailhead for the Robert Frost Trail on Bull Hill road. (You will actually follow the Robert Frost Trail for a short distance.) Cache is about 1/2 mile up the trail. Near ground zero care should be taken with small children. If your GPSr is bouncing around, have no fear, you do not need to climb down any cliffs or hike down to the bottom of the ledges.

You will be delighted with great views from this area. Each season will offer its own rewards.

The cache is a Lock-n-Lock container.

Complete the crossword puzzle and then use the formulas below to get the coordinates to the actual cache.
