The Coulombe Pond cache is adjacent to the Berlin Water Works tank. This area is restricted and is closed off with a perimeter chain link fence. No vehicles allowed on any portion of the gravel access road! Park on the paved street coordinates N 44º 27.731’ W 071º11.499’ [residential area, respect the neighbors] and walkup the gravel road or park at coordinates N 44º 27.921’ W 071º 11.564’ and take the logging road. Walk to the cache from there. [Less dense of a residential area to park]
The story behind Coulombe Pond goes like this; in the 1940’s 50’s local neighborhood families constructed a dam in a natural valley with a small stream feeding into it. The dam was constructed with a rock and dirt berm and the pond was several feet deep. It was a beautiful local swimming hole. Here is where the story takes a strange twist. Three days after the pond was opened some youngster drowned. The local neighbors who built the dam were very upset over this. They went up to the swimming hole and used dynamite and blew up the dam. Today remnants of the dam can be found very close to the cache.
When you walk up to the vehicle barrier gate [usually left open] turn around and take a look at an unusual view of Berlin to the East. If you find the cache please take a precaution to replace exactly as you found it. Enjoy the hike, view, pond and especially the cache.
