Geocache Description:

A nice hike along the Ridgeline Trail in the Irish Hills of Berlin and Northfield will net you a few extra smileys if you go the distance.  I have hiked this in Winter with snow shoes as well as the other three seasons with no issues.  The trail is not marked, but if you follow the path of least resistance you will either eventually come back out on it, or chances are you never left it.  Remember to stick to the high ground and you should be good to go.


This is one of my favorite hikes (and closest to my home), and I just wanted to link up the great caches along this awesome trail.  I don't expect a bunch of finders other the local diehards, but sometimes it's not about finding the cahes, but the journey along the way.

Total time should be about 3-5 hours depending.  Bring a camera and don't forget your water.  The hardest part is the initial push to the tower and then its a rolling up and down (for the most part) until Paine Mountain.  Don't forget to find the benchmark while there!  This is not meant to be a difficult micro in the woods type cache, actually, this one is, but more of a get out there and enjoy your surroundings type. You will need to go down one of the service roads for this one, but once found, the others are back on the trail.

This one of on an old logging trail. I tried to find something with a good view and this was the closest I could find. The view is about 50' away. You can figure it out. Now back up the trail and find some caches!

There is a puzzle cache for those who go the distance, but I really don't remember what cache I put the coordinates in.  Your job is to find the right cache and the smiley is yours.
