Cache is located on the upper Little River trail in Belfast, Maine. One end of the trail starts at the Walsh Baseball Field. There is a kiosk marking the trail and is near N 44* 24.925 W 069* 01.259. The other end of the upper trail starts/ends at N 44* 23.950 W 069* 00.188 and is at the corner of Herrick Road where there is a new bridge being developed. There is plenty of parking at both ends, especially at the Walsh Baseball Field end. At the lower end the trail crosses the road near an alpaca farm and continues of at N 44* 23.930 W 069* 00.120. There are currently 4 caches on this lower portion and the trail comes out at the Lower Water District parking lot which has picnic tables and seats to rest. The upper trail is about 2 3/4 miles in one direction and if I had a geo-friend I would have them park at one end, drive to the start via Rte. 1 in my car and walk to their car from the other end. Trail is well kept and marked with blue markings. All Boston Celtic caches on this trail are within 70 feet from the trail.
