GeoFox784: Looks like since this road is going to be replaced with a modern road it defeats the purpose of the cache on an abandoned road. Archived.

Geocache Description:

Location:
This cache is at the end of a road that has been closed for 6 years. When you walk to this cache it is very surreal, as you can see how nature takes back everything over time. This is what our world would look like if we just disappeared for 6 years. This is just North of Walney Park. I recommend visiting there, as there are some great paths and quite a few caches. Keep in mind that bikes are not allowed on most of the trails through. (This cache is NOT within Walney Park.)

Directions:
Park at the provided cords. (About .4 miles East) Then walk or bike down the road. You cannot access this from the highway, please don’t be crazy. Also, ONLY ENTER FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE ROAD TO THE EAST. There are government buildings nearby that we do not want to anger.

Basic info:
Once you get to the cache, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find. However, the camouflaging may be a VERY difficult challenge for some as it blends in very well. I don’t recommend looking for this at night as you won’t see the great scenery. This cache is named after an appropriate poem by Robert Frost:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
