Geocache Description:


This is a 4 stage multi-cache in Bolton's Rattlesnake Hill Conservation area. No puzzles, just nice trails with good descriptions of the local flora. The intermediate stages require you to hunt for some of the local fauna and the final is a winter-friendly container and hide. Some stages of this cache may be difficult if there is more than 2 feet of snow on the ground.

Parking is available at Lime Kiln approximately 1.5 miles east of 495 on Route 117. There are some great trails here including the Bob Horton Memorial Interpretive Trail. This multi will take you on the Bob Horton and Harris Trails with a nice loop with interesting sights and lots of critters.

Rattlesnake Hill was the first conservation land purchased by the Bolton Conservation Trust. There are no known rattlesnakes on the land now, but there probably were at some time long ago. The Rattlesnake Hill trails are great for biking, skiing and hiking. Access to Rattlesnake Hill is available at Old Sugar Road, Harris Farm or Lime Kiln. Enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE: The 1st stage cache is NOT in the lime kiln. Please respect and take care around the historical structures.

The cache container also includes hints to 4 of the tougher lists in the Harvard Hairball (GC2GYAE) mystery cache. Feel free to take a hint sheet if you are interested.
