Bewitched Samantha Event Cache

You must have seen the announcement: "Thousands of geocachers are joining the Geocaching Road Trip ‘15. Meet them at an event beginning July 3 and earn this souvenir." Here is your chance to get the souvenir and chat with some of the geocachers who are active in Essex County.

Monday, July 6 from 4:00 to 5:00pm (or later). From the statue, look to the West for a table with an individual wearing a Tillie hat.

After some controversy, the Bewitched statue donated by TV Land was officially dedicated on June 15, 2005. The statue depicts actress Elizabeth Montgomery astride a broom and framed by a moon crescent. We thought it would be bigger, but it's a nice, goofy sculpture in small, neatly manicured Lappin Park on Essex and Washington Sts. Salem business owners seemed pretty happy about the addition, since it's attracting the idle curious (us?) in droves. The 1960s show only featured two episodes set in Salem, but one museum owner attributed the resurgence of interest in Salem back then to Bewitched.

Parking is difficult, but you probably know the area and have a scheme for parking your car. If not, there is a waypoint that may give you some help.
