Geocache Description:

What inspired this geocache:

Spinach and I love coming to this park for walks with the geopup. It has plenty of trails (both paved and unpaved) so it's always fun to wander around and enjoy the great views. We thought it'd be nice to place a cache here to introduce other geocachers to the wonders of the Mystic River Reservation!

The cache:

First things first, we’ve provided a waypoint with coordinates for the parking lot (since it isn’t entirely obvious from a map).

Next, the coordinates for this cache will lead you to one of the more interesting features of the park. Once you get to the top you can enjoy the view (you can even see our favorite building – the Prudential Tower) and nab the cache. Remember, this one is well camouflaged (thus the difficulty rating) so we hope you bring your finely tuned geosense!
 

Notes

  • Be sure to bring your own pen.
  • You may want to bring tweezers too (just in case the log is snug).
  • IMPORTANT - No stretching, scaling, reaching, scrambling, dangling, extending, climbing, hanging, jumping, swinging, suspending, or rappelling is necessary to get this cache. The terrain rating was chosen purely because there are stairs involved. This cache is otherwise wheelchair accessible.

 

Have fun and happy caching!
