Having done some caching recently in
the Lynn Woods area, I thought I should return the favor and place
a few caches myself. Maybe an easy multi, a tough multi and an
incredible traditional would be good. Let’s see what
develops. This cache is an easy multi on the B Side of the
woods.
The Lynn Woods
According to the Friends of Lynn Woods’ website, Lynn Woods
Reservation is the second largest municipal park in the greater
Boston area. This 2,200 acre forest reserve consists of ponds,
wetlands, streams, deciduous/evergreen forest and rocky ledge. The
ponds provide the drinking water for the residents of Lynn and
surrounding communities.
The B Side
Most of the caches in Lynn Woods are located either north of Walden
Pond or in the area surrounded by the three ponds. (Walden, Breeds
and Birch) While looking at maps of the area I saw what I have come
to call “the B Side”. Are you old enough to know what
the B Side of a record was?
In the late 50’s and into the 60’s singles were
released on 7 inch vinyl records called 45s. The hit song that the
record company wanted played on the radio would be on the “A
Side”. The flip side or the “B Side” was where
non-album, non-radio-friendly, instrumental versions or simply
inferior recordings were placed. Sometimes the B Side wasn’t
even a song by the A Side artist.
The Cache
So why call the cache “Lynn Woods – B Side”? As I
was looking at a map for a place to hide this cache I saw there
were no caches on the south side of Breeds Pond. When I was looking
where to park and access the woods I saw B Street was just off
Parkland Ave. At the end of B Street you can park and walk over to
the first stage of this cache which is a PVC ring. The coords on
that ring will lead you a short ways away to the final. Be careful
where you walk, there are several sink holes near the final. Please
replace the camouflage to keep this cache from getting
muggled.
Good luck and good caching,
Loch Cache
