Fenced! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

BriGuyNY: While I’m archiving other nearby hides, I might as well kill this one too. When I replaced the original container a few years ago, the trail was way overgrown and neglected. I don’t expect the conditions to get any better here, and since the container I swapped in seems to be compromised, there is no point for anyone to fight through the mess just to find a junky old lock n lock.

Archive sleuths - Feel free to remove this one if you like. It’s still in the mess, as of this notice. If that ever changes in the future, I will update.

Also to anyone watching, when I placed this, the bypass didn’t even exist - it was under construction. You could walk through the old fence and onto the newly planned roadway. There used to be a trail that went further out, but road crews demolished it. With the passing of time, this one has come to an end. Thanks for all the logs and memories shared.

Geocache Description:

A cache hidden on the back trails of Willow Park.

While snowshoeing this past winter I found this side trail that was in need of a cache. I found a potential hiding spot, but wanted to wait until the snow melted before fully investigating a location. Turns out this original spot was perfect . Not only does this trail separate itself from the hustle/bustle of the park and immerse itself in nature but it also gives you the best view of old versus new with the construction of what will be a new highway amid the classic landscape of the Green Mountain National Forest.

For now you can walk beyond the park lands and explore, but sooner or later the fence will be sealed off and access will be forbidden. You can even see where trails used to lead off into the forest that have now been permanently fenced over. Not to worry, the cache is still on park grounds and will always be accessible.

I hope you enjoy this park, and the cache!

Congrats on FTF: Orion & Son!
