I was first brought to the S.N.E.T.T (Southern New England Trunkline Trail) for one of Mustcache's cache (Chocolog Choo-choo). You can hike this trail all the way into Connecticut and pick up a few caches on the way. This is my small way to help that along.
There is a small off-street parking area at West Street at N42° 03.143 W71° 40.082. For a longer hike park at Chocolog Road at N42° 02.569 W71° 38.137.
This cache is hidden along the Southern New England Trunkline Trail (SNETT). The SNETT is 22 miles long and was acquired in 1984 by the Massachusetts Department of Management and then designated as a National Recreation Trail in 1994. This trail passes through six communities: Douglas, Uxbridge, Millville, Blackstone, Bellingham and Franklin. This trail is formerly known as the New York-New Haven- Hartford Railroad which ceased operation in 1964 and there is an additional 25 miles extending to Willimantic, Connecticut. That section is currently owned and managed by the Conn Department of Environmental Protection. The entire trail is a stone dust path and is presently undeveloped. This path would support a Class I bikeway and is the width of a double track rail bed for all non-electric transportation.
