This cache, third in the Hammond series, was placed with my son "Chi1de Roland", who was home from the Navy over Christmas. This is a beautiful area with a lot of history, and worth the drive.
The old Hammond Road is bumpy, but open to traffic; you can park at the trailhead that runs to the river. There’s a fair amount of muggle traffic on weekends, including 4-wheelers/hikers/campers.
As a precautionary measure, the cache is not hidden in/around dilapidated buildings, nor in an area which would require going across the RR tracks.
This is a prime CITO spot! Muggles discard bottles, cans, wrappers, etc. I ran into a State Forestry guy down there one day. We got to talking about all the garbage and he said they were actively trying to find trash with peoples’ names on it (like envelopes, magazines, etc). So bring a sack with you and beautify the place a bit!
I took umpteen readings and averaged the coords. I think old Mr. Hammond's ghost haunts GPSrs down there and you're likely to get some bounce on this one. But get to the right area (you'll be very close with these coords), put your GPS in yer pocket, and use your geosense. You're looking for a small, camo lock n' lock, big enough for small swag. BYOP.
Beware: one of Medusa's locks guards the way to this cache.
