Geocache Description:

This is a three stage multi-cache in the Mann's Pond area in Sharon MA.

This is a really neat area I found just after I started geocaching. Almost immediately I decided it would be a great place to drop my first cache. It's not marked on many maps but is part of the Massapoag Trail.

There are a lot of old building ruins in this area. I am not sure of the exact age but if you look around you will see all sorts of things. I have found tons of stone markers, building foundation remnants, old bottles, etc. This cache is to take you to a few of the area that I think are interesting.

Since this is my first drop any critiques would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I have added parking coordinates. They are very close to the first stage. I have also decided to give a few tips so people don't chance hurting themselves or damaging the arch. If you head toward the trail with the pond on your right, on the left there will be a staircase. This will take you into the area for the first stage. You will not have to pass over the arch.
