This multi-cache has eight stops, the final stop being the site of the one and only cache. You will need to park your car only twice - see way points. The tour takes about two hours. All stops are close to Route 20 in Northborough. Visit the stops on foot. Locating the cache will be much more difficult after heavy snow. The cache container was relocated 7-4-12.
Each stop has a building, sign or monument with a 4 digit year. You will use all 4 digits for your calculations. If there are two years listed, use the earlier year. Bring a calculator. You will need to round.
(Examples: TTT =1985 X .1219 = 241.97 Use 242
UUU = 1997 X .0270 = 53.92 Use 054
Go to the Parking Area X for Stop 1, which is on private property. Public access to Stop 1 (Mary Goodnow Monument) is allowed. Instructions are provided at the trail head at the parking area.
Make sure to look around while walking. There are some really nice buildings.
