(This cache was originally place by Diggler).
Pray's store is no longer there, but follow the signs for Frost Pond Camps instead.
Located near Ripogenus Dam which is at the south end of Chesuncook Lake (Ripogenus Lake)
To get near this cache, just drive to the entrance of the dam which is on the Golden rd, and marked by the Pray's cottage/Store sign (Use pg 50 of Maine map book). Drive past Prays country store, and continue on the road and drive over the top of the Dam. Offers an amazing view of Ripogenus gorge here. Drive down the road a bit, until you start to see huge boulders on your right. One of these boulders has some grafitti on it, something like "Bud + Kelly" or something, it's right near where the road is just a few feet from the water's edge. This is a good place to start up onto the rock slide which leads right up to the shear rock face of the "Fat Man's Woe". The rock slide should be very obvious as it is the only very steep field of crushed rock near this area. Get out your GPS and start looking. The cache container is a green/black 1-gallon Igloo cooler with a screw-top. The container's items, as usual per Diggler, are exceptional.
