Geocache Description:

A 3 cup camoed container, It should be find-able without digging until more than 3 feet of snow. Cache is placed just beyond a little canyon along the Long Trial on the way to Burnt Rock Mt, This is the 3rd of 4 caches I have placed on these trails.

The trail begins at the parking lot at the end of Big Basin Road before the steel pipe gate. You follow the Hedgehog Brook Trail after crossing a stream that might be a problem during heavy rain or spring snow melt. The trail ascends gently at first, becoming steeper as you get higher. After 2 miles, it joins the Long Trail.
The canyon is about a quarter mile after you join the Long Trail. If you continue on to the summit, you will be treated to some of the best viewing on the Long Trail. The last .25 mile along the Long Trail, has open ledges that might be dangerous in icy conditions.
I am told that shortly after joining the Long Trail, a short spur trail to the left leads to a small glacial pothole, one of the largest in New England.
I intend to track this pothole down!!!!
