Mitten Crab Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

The mitten crab is an invasive species that would be unwelcome in this area. The Mitten Crab geocache is okay, though, so long as it stays put. Probably only one good route to this one, which is via the Wells Reserve trail system. Parking is off Skinner Mill Road. (Trails are open 7 am to sunset.) Small fee late May to early October.

Just a logbook in a flat container that could hold a small item but didn't at the outset.

This geocache is part of the Gulf of Maine Council Geotour across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. You can earn a limited edition geocoin for accumulating 100 points in the tour. Details for the geotour can be found at the GOMC website. To play, download the full geotour passport.

The "mitten crab" containers have run out after three replacements of the original, but a similar container was deployed on this cache's 10th anniversary. Let's hope it holds up to the harsh environment and stays waterproof.
