A Christmas
Themed Cache (at least for the holiday season and then it will
revert to a traditional cache!). Based on one of the stages from
Cachemas 2007, we wanted to do something that was holiday
themed and a little different.
This is a
multi-cache with a twist. At the header coordinates look towards
approximately 50 degrees and there you will find a snowflake. Then
find another about 50 - 100 feet away. Find all 30 snowflakes and
they will lead you to the cache. At some spots you may see a couple
of flakes with the same number. We took pity on you as I thought it
was too hard to spot the single flake. Obviously, please
don't remove the snowflakes from the
trees...
For this
cache we have "wrapped presents" for you. Please only take one
present - "you get what you get and you don't get upset" as Aidan
would say! If you don't like what you get, you can leave the
present in the cache for future trades - or take it with
you.
As usual, if you take a present please trade for something similar.
Future visitors can then choose to keep their present or trade for
something they know. Hopefully not coal!
Could be a
challenge with lots of snow as the stars may not stand out. And now
for the shameless plug - if you have not completed
The Adventure Of The Lost Protykus you may want to visit her
while you are in the woods. The final of this one is kind of on the
way to the first stage of that
cache.
Good luck, happy holidays and as always, have
fun!

- Park
your vehicle at N 41.06.912 W 073.36.696.
The powers that be have closed the parking area for these woods so
you will need to park along the side of the road or at one of the
small pull offs. If you park along the road
please be sure to pull in close as the road is quite
narrow. I typically reverse into the spot highlighted in the
parking coordinate as getting out from head in can be tricky. NOTE
- DON'T PULL OFF INTO THE SPOT IF THE GROUND IS WET - YOU MAY GET
STUCK! STAY ON THE ROAD AND PARK ALONG THE SIDE!
- The trails in the wood are
maintained by The Greenwich
Riding Trails Association so you may run into a few of our
equine friends as you walk the trails. Please
note horses do tend to make things a bit muddy so be prepared for a
bit of mud as you walk these woods.
- Nothing is mentioned about dogs,
but I suggest you keep them on a leash as we do share the woods
with horses and I'd hate to scare them.
