INSIDE THIS CACHE IS A DISPOSABLE CAMERA - PLEASE TAKE A PHOTO OF YOU OR YOU & YOUR GROUP SOMEWHERE IN THE VILLAGE. There are terrific photo opportunities, such as:
- The Northville Bell - it really works!
- Any of the bridges located through the Village - especially with the river in the background
- The Gazeebo built by a local High School wood shop class
- With any of the crew from the Village (Sunday's only)
Once the camera is full, the photos will be published back on this cache page.

From September 2012 to Summer 2013, a camera was at this log for all cachers to take photos of themselves and their family having fun finding this one and at Mill Race! Take a look at the photos (contact me if you'd like yours to be removed). I'm happy to see so many have enjoyed finding this cache!
