Stone Pile 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This cache has been archived.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 cache is a little off the beaten path but worth the visit.   It’s in a pretty wooded area that is part of the Amherst Conservation land in N Amherst near the Peabody Mill Environmental Center.

The Cache is hiding in a man made pile of stones.   There are about a dozen or more Cairns located in the area and I have no idea why they are there, who made them, or what they were for.   I came across the collection while seeking another cache in the area and thought that they would make a terrific place to stow a cache so that others could come and see these strange piles of rocks.   There are other stone Cairns in the area, but I haven’t seen so many in such close proximity and in such an out of the way spot.     The best way to reach the cache is to park on Brook Road about 500’ south of the Tree House Trail head in the school bus turnaround.   Walk up the Trail and turn off when your GPS shows a bearing of about 90°.   Walk through the woods until you see the stone piles.  I left a traveling Notre Dame Geocoin for the FTF to move on.
