Geocache Description:

1st: Off a paved trail, nothing too difficult. If you have seen the movie you know what you are looking for.
2nd: Located in a park which is closed from 10PM to 5AM, no fee.
Log is at the second stage, small tradeables and trackables only.

As of 7/10/10 cache is reopened but bring lots of Mosquito Repelant to second stage.

~There's a big hayfield up near Buxton…One in particular. It's got a long rock wall, a big oak tree at the north end. It's like something out of a Robert Frost poem. It's where I asked my wife to marry me. We went there for a picnic and made love under that oak and I asked and she said yes. Promise me, Red. If you get out, find that spot. In the base of that wall, you'll find a rock that has no earthly business in a Maine hayfield. A piece of black, volcanic glass. There's something buried under it I want you to have. ~ …. Shawshank Redemption

This is one of my son's and I favorite movie. When I see this place something speaks to me and I think about this movie. It is not a really pretty spot but it has potential, I think. The tree is not oak but apple (and I am sure if it could talk, it would have some stories to tell), the rock wall isn't long it's circular, and the rock isn't black, volcanic glass. (However, there is one in the cache.) Once you find the cache read what is inside, write down or enter in the next coordinates, and REPLACE EVERYTHING as you found it. Stealth required as some muggles could be watching from above. PLEASE HIDE BETTER THAN FOUND. Please place your tradeables and trackables in the second stage of this cache that has the log.

This cache has a paved trail and on a nice day, if you are up for a nice long walk, you can walk to the second part of the cache but I would recommend taking the car and taking a stroll at the second part, it has a better view. As I mentioned in my first cache a little walk is good for the body. Enjoy. And if you haven't seen this movie, rent it, you won't regret it. I wouldn't decrypt the code if you have seen the movie.
