MainePublisher: Your cache appears to be in need of attention. It's been a while since the cache was found and there are no owner logs letting finders know if the cache is still findable.
All geocaches must have a responsive owner. I'm temporarily disabling the cache page to give you the opportunity to check on the physical cache. Please post an owner maintenace note within the next month so the cache does not need to be archived for non-response.

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.
