Geocache Description:

A two stage multi - cache. Both stages are "across the swinging bridge" - just off of the hiking trail. 4-27-13: Changed to one stage.

The cache is located at the Arcadia Mill Archaeological Site. The Mill was in operation from 1817 to 1855. There is a Visitor Center and Museum on the site,with maps and logging exhibits, that is open from 10 AM - 4 PM, Tuesday - Saturday. ( You can walk the trails at any time during daylight hours ) Guided tours and School programs are also available. The listed coordinates are for stage one, which is a small camo jar with the coordinates for stage two. It is a medium size camo jar with a log,pen and tradeable items. There are also maps available near the entrance that will help you to see where you are headed. Both stages are north of Elliott's Flume.

THIS cache is NOT for everyone. I would not recommend it for very small children or anyone with health problems. Finding the cache should be easy - the hardest part is getting there. The trail varies as follows: board walk, wood steps, wood ramp,smooth dirt trail, dirt trail with tree roots that you could trip over. Some portions are high, others are low and could be wet after a rain storm. The bridge itself is sometimes under water. ( I will post some pictures in the near future.)

*** Surprise ! Surprise ! *** There will be an extra surprise for the first six people that find this cache. So hurry out there - you don't want to be # 7 !

Congrats to Felinu for FTF !! It's not easy finding a cache before Meronjo2 these days. Way to go !! ( Were you sleeping M2 ?? )

*** 4-07-09 *** See New Pictures - Before and after the bridge flooded.

*** 4-09-09 *** Revised coordinates for both stages.
