Who Was John Wingate Weeks? Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MainePublisher: All geocache placements must have a responsive owner. The cache owner must be able to respond to issues that come up and to submit an "owner maintenance" log to remove the "needs maintenance" icon.

In addition to the "needs maintenance" logs and DNF logs, Goundspeak also uses a Health Score algorithm. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713

In this case, Groundspeak has sent an email to the cache owner with no response. The cache owner did not respond to any of the cachers hoping to find the cache and did not respond to the reviewer note so the cache is now archived.

The cache location is now open for any Geocacher to place a new cache, including the original cache owner.

Geocache Description:

A little history about the man behind the Weeks Act which helped to expand the national forests for all to enjoy.

This is a place that White Mt Hiker and myself like to go when we only have time for a short hike. The land was once owned by John Wingate Weeks who initiated the Weeks Act. After finding this cache we recommend hiking up to the top for the spectacular views in every direction.  There are also 2 more caches further up the trail which will take about an hour, it is 1.5 miles from the bottom to the top and is paved all the way.  At the top is also a fire tower and the "Lodge" which was John Wingate Weeks summer home.  This road is gated but when the gate is open you can drive all the way to the top.

Parking can be found before the gate as well as along the road (2 scenic outlooks) and at the top.
