Geocache Description:

A very quirky cache.  A very quick cache.  It's the Stache Cache!

This cache is meant to be a quick park and grab located in a section of Leominster where I grew up.  When I was a kid, my childhood friends and I would walk all the way to the end of Lancaster St. and down a small path to fish in the Nashua River for fun.  Now that I am older this area still brings back a lot of memories but I am saddened that the end of the road has been blocked off.  The old path I used to take is still there, but due to an overwhelming amount of graffiti I decided to place the cache much closer to accessible parking.  I remember the river used to flood to some very high levels.  It looks as though there is an agency that now regulates the water levels down by where I used to fish.

The cache itself is designed simply to make people smile upon discovery.  It's a very uniquely camouflaged medium sized container, originially containing the typical log book, writing utitensils, and cache items.  A $5 Dollar Tree gift card and a very special travel bug is there for FTF.  It is located close to parking and is less than 100' from the road.  I'm giving this cache a 2 for terrain only because there is a steep slope behind the cache that could be dangerous for small children and in icy winter months.  This cache will also be harder to find during winter months due to the special camo.  Be sure to rehide this well.  It will surely be muggled if found by mistake.

PLEASE NOTE:  The right hand side of the road belongs to Lowes Hardware.  Do NOT disturb the fencing or the area near the electrical housing.  This cache is not near, or related to that facility; it is private property.
Congrats to skristoff and hyliston for a tag-team FTF!
