The What-Not Jar Traditional Cache
Stepntime: Hunted for this cache and the exact location today, but logging has totally destroyed it. It's pretty bad when even the cache owner can't find the location where the cache was supposed to be!

This jar, filled with a variety of trinkets is in plain sight, off the trail 15 feet or so.
The trails of the Hanson Farm, Inc. preserved by the Maine Farm Land Trust, provide wonderful somewhat hilly hiking. This cache is in plain sight. If it does not "stay as hidden", I may have to adjust the hide. Time will tell. Please do bring your own writing implement. Year round parking for all the Hanson Farm trails caches is at McDougal's on Hanson's Ridge Rd. Enjoy your trek through the red gates bearing right to enter the trail system.
Like my other hides, it has either a first, second, or third to find prize - not telling which!! (You can 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!!
