Geocache Description:

*You will need a smartphone/device that allows you to read NFC*

The difficulty is based on needing the correct equipment only.


 I've been playing with some NFC technology lately & figured why not make that into a simple two stage multi that would highlight both these interesting locations. 

Your journey starts at Patten Pond in Amesbury. Home of a locally famous duck, as well as many other creatures.

witch
Local legend has it that many moons ago, a local woman was accused of witchcraft and was drown as punishment in the pond. Rumor has it that you can hear her speak if you listen carefully enough. Maybe a submarine can save her? Better yet, maybe you can with your smartphones assistance!

Your mission is to use your smartphone/device to help the witch teleport out to a nearby area (Final Location).  In turn she will give you a reward, the cache & the log to sign.

 


*Near field communication, abbreviated NFC, is a form of contactless communication between devices like smartphones or tablets. Contactless communication allows a user to wave the smartphone over a NFC compatible device to send information without needing to touch the devices together or go through multiple steps setting up a connection.
