Lawson's Quarry Discards Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

spiffster05: There have been several NF reports but I am not able to visit in the near future to either locate or re-plant a cache in this location. Now that the spring has begun and tourists are making their way back to the island, its best to de-register this cache from the system.

Geocache Description:

Hidden in the discarded granite from Lawson's Quarry, near the southern parking lot. BYOP

An oft-visited local swimming hole, the Lawson's Quarry is located about a half mile north of the main part of the town of Vinalhaven.

Getting to the island is a commitment in itself. Bringing a car from the mainland takes much advanced planning. This cache is a short bike ride from town, or an even shorter drive. Park in the south parking lot, and bring a towel for a quick swim in the cool waters of this attraction!

Overall difficulty rating is a 2.5 just for the added effort to get to the island from Rockland, by ferry, charter plane, or lobster boat if you know someone local!

Original items include pink parachuter, small compass, steel bead maze game, marble, toy car, lost tooth chest.
