Geocache Description:

The cache is on top of a knoll east of Moose Mountain, near a lovely little pond. Lots of moose poop in the area. And lots of saplings nipped by moose.


The latest map of the Moose Mountains Reservation, found here: Moose Map ; shows a trail beyond Beauty Knob. I had found this trail several years ago and hiked it then, discovering the wild pond on top. You will have to find the trail too as it is not yet marked. In the clearing at the north end of Beauty Knob Trail, go uphill through the weeds. You should quickly find yourself on an old snowmobile or ski trail. Some parts are eroded, some parts are steep. Sometimes you will be heading towards the cache, sometimes not. Trust the well established trail, it will bring you to the high point of the hill, then a footpath will bring you to the pond and the cache.  The cache is camoed but not hidden. About a pint in size.
