Cold Spring Headwaters - STOLEN 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This cache has been archived.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:

This cash was stolen. I am working to replace it.
 

Bring your cup. You'll want to refresh yourself with a drink from this historic water source.

Cold Spring flows out of the ground near a dirt road intersection in south Shaftsbury creating Cold Spring Brook. Cold Spring has been an important town water source for generations and has flowed continuously for hundreds of years. Several residents still get their water from Cold Spring. When Trenor Park built the historic Park-McCullough House in North Bennington, he wanted Cold Spring water. An aqueduct was built from the headwaters to the mansion, passing over Cold Spring Brook via a picturesque stone bridge  built solely to carry the water pipe (nearby cache Cold Spring Brook Bridge.)

Cold Spring is on private land, though as least partly in the right of way of the road. Please be respectful. The is no parking to be had right at the sight. Your best bet is on the road shoulder to the west. Traffic is lighest west of the intersection.
