Stopping By Woods On a Snowy Evening Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache the Bayman!: I have moved from the area, and I am sure some local cachers would have fun putting a string of hides in here for our caching community. Thanks to all who came to this cache.

Geocache Description:


This is a winter friendly cache; actually, the more "winter" it gets, the friendlier the hide is!  If you are a snowshoer or a skier, this is a great little trail if we get enough snow.  No matter your mode of transportation, keep an ear out for snowmobiles or ATVs, though they are usually very sparse in here (especially in the direction that the hide leads you).  I ski here regularly, and those who use the trail with motorized vehicles are definitely good to share the trailway.

With our caches, there is always a theme to the hide.  This cache was hid on a beautiful February afternoon, by dad and daughter, who just needed to get out of the house after being in school all day.  So what was just a walk in the woods turned in to a thought:  maybe some geocachers may enjoy a fairly easy walk in the woods, enjoy the fresh air, and be rewarded with a find at the end.  

The hide is on an old traditional trail just off of Wildberry Lane in the Forest Landing subdivision in Torbay. Do not try to approach the cache from Indian Meal Line, that would defeat the purpose of the hide, and that approach would be folly... 

Keep in mind that this is supposed to be an easy walk, about 10-15 minutes in to the cache from the end of Wildberry Lane / trailhead.  Avoid the temptation to bushwhack; it is completely unnecessary, and that too would be folly.  Just follow the trail and enjoy the walk, keeping your eye on your compass any time you reach an intersection in the trail.

The cache is a 1L camo'd container, filled with great, fun swag.  Our travel bug, "Star of Torbay" is being launched from this cache.  If you take the bug, please take care of him and place him in a new cache as soon as possible, since this bug was designed by our daughters and they are watching his progress intently.  His photo was taken while he was sitting on a tree on our front lawn on Wildberry. Also notice that Star, like his owner, Cache the Bayman!, is a huge music lover, so add a song to your log when you log him in.

So, good geocachers, come breathe the fresh air, and enjoy the walk.

"Whose woods these are I think I know.   
His house is in the village though;   
He will not see me stopping here   
To watch his woods fill up with snow."

Namaste.
