Geocache Description:

This puzzle cash is located in beautiful down town Machias. You can park within ten feet of the cache. (If no one else has parked there.) With just one step up, you can magically go from main street, Machias to West Quoddy Head in Lubec. That's when the magic begins. Good Luck! 


This puzzle cash gives all the clues for unlocking a padlock at the base of it.  Nothing comes off of the cache. Everything is attached. Some items are fragile, so be gentle. If you visit this cash at night, bring a flashlight. If you have poor vision, bring a magnifier.
