Geocache Description:

Located off route 172 headed into Bluehill or Surry depending on which direction you're headed


Quick park and "grab" or quick park and "go?"Not sure, the cache is not hidden within a guardrail so I am safe in assuming we're looking at a nice park and go! This is my second cache hidden within an old forgotten rest area situated along our historic Maine highways. When I was little I remember the rest area as a place to pull over, take a break from fighting with your brother or sister, have a snack, stretch the legs and maybe use one of the public toilets which were almost always available. One particular rest area in Washington county I remember from my childhood featured a natural spring where people would fill up their water bottles and gallon jugs with natural spring water. Perhaps I will start a series of caches hidden within all of Maine's long, lost forgotten rest areas.

We will be searching for a match container wrapped in camouflage duct tape hidden at knee level if you are a full grown adult. Cache should be winter friendly if the rest area is plowed which I think it may be throughout the winter because this spot makes for a good turning area for the plows. This cache is great for all age levels.

 

I had to go back to the GZ to find the appropriate coordinates on two separate occasions because at the time of my hiding the cache we were in the middle of 2 months of nothing but low level clouds, thick fog and almost steady rain which hindered the GPS from providing a decent signal. Seasoned Cachers should have no problems locating the cache, we will see!!!!!
