Park at N 41° 43.822, W 072° 30.230. This cache is part of the
Buckingham Reservoir series of 13 caches. Most of the cache
locations are on or near well-worn trails, however, some of them
may be extra challenging during certain seasons of the year.
There is an abundance of wildlife in the area. It’s quite
possible to encounter beaver, bobcats, coyotes, deer, fishers, red,
grey and yellow foxes, four varieties of owls, snapping turtles,
timber rattlesnakes, various water snakes, weasels and the very
rare occasional wandering bear. Exercise caution and remember that
this is their home.
Beware of underground whirlpools during rainy season.
