Geocache Description:

Firefly Night-Cache

Enjoy The How Now Brown Cow Long Hike Night-Cache. When finding this cache you will be able to enjoy the beauty of Mendon Ponds Park. This is my very first hide and I think that it will be quite fun. You can brag to your friends that YOU found the How Now Brown Cow Long Hike Night-Cache once you have taken the journey. Have fun!


This cache is approximately a 0.8 mile trip there and back and takes you through a beautifully wooded part of Mendon Ponds Park. Make sure to bring a flashlight and a GPS so that you do not get lost. Please do not attempt this cache in the daytime because it takes away the fun of the cache and it will be very difficult. In order to do this cache, bring yourself to the start location and you will soon find what you need. This is not for Geocachers who have never found a nightcache before because this is a fairly difficult cache. You will not always be able to see each marking from the previous marking so if you are ever at a loss, keep going ahead. There is also a field, which you will have to walk across to find the next marking. If you ever notice there are not many trees, keep walking ahead and you should be able to find a marking. There are many hills and quite a few places with rocks, roots, etc, so make sure to bring proper footwear and to watch your step. Please sign the logbook and leave the cache exactly as you found it. There is a prize for FTF and various other things for second, third, and fourth finders. The park closes at 11:00 pm on weekends. Good Luck.

"Ever hear these words, “How now brown cow? ~ Wonder where it came from, this to me is very bizarre anyhow. ~ I realize that it’s just a little saying. ~ Why this crept in, I asked myself while praying? ~ You see many people have their ways and collect. ~ Artifacts like; key chains, buttons and I collected baseball cards, I reflect. ~ My wife’s thing is cows, ~ Why, I can’t figure it, anyhow? ~ Cows are a blessing to mankind, ~ giving milk for all humans to survive. ~ “How now brown cow” is just a little phrase, ~ But the milk gives us cheese, other products and things that are made. ~ They give nourishment to fill our lives. ~ As the Lord put these animals on this Earth for us to survive. ~ The Lord has put these brown cows for our use. ~ Along with all animals, if that’s what we choose. ~ Man has dominion over all creatures on this Earth. ~ And we should be grateful for these brown cows, ~ they were put here way before our birth." - Robert Ball
