I used to love to read the book "The Giving Tree" to my children. I wonder if any of you remember it....
I discovered these trails at the beginning of this summer when I decided to go for the Bike and Hike cache and decided there was room for some more caches on them. So, after scoping them out some more, I contacted the Orono Land Trust and got permission and placed them. None of the caches are hidden along the trails that are closed for a few months of the year to protect the ground-nesting birds so PLEASE DO NOT go on those trails when they are closed. I have hidden them so you can follow the trail and make a loop around and then back to the parking.
For cachers who wish to continue along the loop, the recommended order after this would be Wonderful View, Beyond the Lichen, Yo! I Know it’s Right Here, No Bushwacking Required, Where the Untame Dwell, and 5-6, Pick Up __ .
Trail maps can be found at oronolandtrust.org under Land and trails>Trails Maps. These trails are part of the Newman Hill, Dorian, and Hinds Conservation Easements.
Congratulations to unexpectediscoveries for the FTF! Sounds like you earned it!!
