The bus is on Forest Road 325 in the Green Mountain National Forest. The road is open in summer (May 1 to December 1) for high-clearance four wheel drive vehicles, crashco, ATVs, mountain bikes, horses, and hikers. The road is open in the winter to snowmobiles, cross country skiers and snowshoers.
The cache is more than five miles from the Somerset Road. Driving to this site took us about 45 minutes. Whether you drive or use another method of transport, be sure your mode of transportation is adequately fueled and that you allow plenty of time to reach your destination and return to civilization.
Otherwise, this is almost a park and grab!

The story behind the cache -- I was out exploring with crashco and Zebra Girl, heading into the Somerset area to explore alternate routes to Glastenbury Mountain. We found the place to begin a hike to the mountain and then continued on to explore. We made it all the way to the end of the road, 7 miles in. You might want to see the end of the road too! The crashco mobile made it all the way out there. The lifted, big-wheeled pickup truck drivers were amused. So unless you are crashco be sure you drive the right vehicle out there. Like the ads say -- Closed course, professional driver, do not duplicate! Yes, crashco IS a professional driver!
Location info: This cache is located within the town of Glastenbury, in Bennington County. The only real access is from the town of Somerset, in Windham County.
