I was out doing maintenance on one of
the Middlesex Canal caches when I decided to place three caches:
one traditional, one multi and one puzzle. Two of them are easy and
one not quite as easy, depending on your point of view.
This is the multi
The Middlesex Canal
The Middlesex Canal, which linked Charlestown, on the Charles
River, to the Merrimack River at Chelmsford, was the result of
efforts by merchants and other wealthy men of Boston, Medford, and
surrounding towns to develop a more efficient way to tap the
natural resources and reach the markets of the Merrimack River
Valley in northeastern Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The route
of the canal went right through Wilmington. Near this cache are the
remains of the Maple Meadow Aqueduct. I hope you take time to
explore the remains of the canal before or after finding this
cache.
The Cache
If you want to increase your Loch Cache find count this will be an
easy one to find provided you find the round object. Although this
cache is located near the old Midlesex Canal I was drawn to the
area for the ski history. (Check out the related web page.) At the
first stage you will be at the top of the old ski area. There you
will find an object that was onced used as part of the tow rope
operation. On it you will find the last three digits of the north
and west coordinates of the final.
The second stage is just two tenths of a mile away. As you enjoy
the walk over watch for signs of wild life in the area. There is a
lot and several different types. At the final look carefully and
you should come up with the cache quickly. Please make sure the
cache is returned snugly to its hiding spot and all camouflage is
back in place. DON'T BE DESTRUCTIVE!
Good luck and good caching,
Loch Cache
