I (warmstorage) adopted this cache from 3ToeHeads in late January 2016. The container has been changed, and is now a regular size pill bottle. It was replaced in same hiding spot.
I'm so glad to keep this one going: finding these Brookline path caches will show you parts of the town you'd likely not otherwise ever see! Brookline has seventeen footpaths winding their way through the town, providing convenient access to parks and public transportation, providing shortcuts through hilly terrain where streets are circuitous. The paths were created starting in 1886. They introduce you to a secret world available only to walkers. They take behind backyards offering glimpses of stately homes, offering a feeling of being in the woods in a dense urban area.
Please check out this great history of Summit Path written by local author and urban planner Linda Olson Pehlke: http://www.brooklinehistoricalsociety.org/paths/Summit/summitPath.asp
Cache is a pill bottle, lightly camo'd, with log and pencil, and some small trinkets.PLEASE be sure to replace the lid in the NON-childproof setting so that it is more watertight!Best parking by Summit Park on Summit Ave. Not quite a park and grab, but not a long walk from parking.
When 3ToeHeads originally placed this cache, they found the soggy remains of an older cache. They weren't able to identify it because it had been exposed to the elements for too long, but with the help of Bigrock95 they identified it as the now-defunct Animal Farm Cache by Trail Prowlers. Thanks to Trail Prowlers for discovering a cool spot for a hide, and glad to carry on with a new cache at this location.
UPDATE MARCH 2016: I decided the previous hint made this far too quick a find, so I have changed the hint to reference other local transportation infrastructure that you could take to get to Summit Path if you wanted. The difficulty really hasn't changed; it's just that the previous hint practically put it in your hand.
