This is a cache spawned from VPT – Vermont Periodic Table  (GC6VVB3) The cache is small and winter friendly but bring a pencil. Snowshoes /microspikes are a must in the winter. Follow the yellow blazes along the trail. The shorter trek is from PKG1 passing by a couple of older caches. PKG2 will take you past 4 newer caches. Choose wisely!
