You are looking for a blue coffee jug filled with colorful small bags to hold geocaching treasures. It should be winter friendly unless it is iced in.
Here's another cache on the Hanson Farm, Inc. trails "Below the Main' orchard of McDougal's. This trail is a favorite of my geo-horse Andy. There's plenty of parking at McDougal's on Hanson's Ridge Rd. Hike through the red gate bearing right to access the trails. These caches are designed to introduce more folks to these wonderful trails protected by the Maine Farm Land Trust.
This cache has either a first, second, or third to find prize - not telling which!! (But you may tell after the third find.) Please count each of the following situations as a single find: caching alone; caching in a group; joining another cacher who arrived before you did, but who hasn't found it. As for coming upon a cacher who's already found it, please use your own discretion. Have fun!
CLARIFICATION: After reading Marcipanek's FTF Logs, I checked with Ellen/Jack McAdam who run the McDougal Orchard operation and who maintain the trails on the Hanson Farm property The CLOSED sign is for the Orchard business ONLY. DOGS are not allowed within the confines of the actual orchard (surrounded by electric fence to keep the deer out). Animals are only present along the beginning of the Sheep Pasture Trail when the orchard business is open late summer & fall. It is perfectly fine to walk your leashed dog right past this section (issues have arisen with dogs hanging out there and pestering the animals, walking on through is not an issue) or take the Slippery Hill Trail which is a bit before the Sheep Pasture Trail. Just go around the truck parked at the entrance to this trail.
The McAdams were excited that someone had already enjoyed the trails and found the caches. They very much want people to park at the orchard rather than down the hill on the side of the road. Congrats to Marcipanek and thanks for alerting me to the need for clarification!!
