Forbidden Forest 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This cache has been archived.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:

Just beyond Alexander-Carr park is a short trail that winds itself through "a very old place that holds many secrets and houses many creatures, some dark and dangerous, others friendly." This area of woods reminds me very much of the Forbidden Forest found in the Harry Potter books.  I've hidden a friendly little cache in these woods, which should be nothing to fear.  


Parking for this cache can be found at Carr playground off Pierce Ave.  The cache is a black bison tube with only a log book, and it's hanging out on one of the many evergreen trees in this forest, high enough to make it winter friendly.  There are several small trails that stem off the main trail.  Either take one of the small trails to find the cache, or venture off the path into the unknown, if you dare...
