Whiskeag Trail: Tree Hanger by the Creek 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This cache has been archived.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:

This series of caches is placed along the newly opened Whiskeag Trail, which runs from the YMCA to the Thorne Head Preserve. The trail is 5 miles long and runs along the Whiskeag Creek. At Thorne Head the fresh water mixes with the brackish water of the Kennebec Estuary. An estuary is a body of water where fresh and salt water mix. The water in the lower Kennebec is salty because the tide carries salt water from the ocean upstream against the current of the river.

There are beautiful views from this cache. It is not necessary to go over the cliff. The cache is at shoulder height, if you are as tall as me. Bring a pen/pencil.
