Geocache Description:

The cache is located just off the Mattatuck trail in Watertown near the Thomaston line on route 6. The trail has some long slopping rocks to climb and is not recommended for children under 8. Do not leave the trail until you reach the fire road. We suggest entering at the fire road coordinates with small children.

There are two types of cache hunts to do along the trail. The first is a letterboxing by Aili and Bruce which we found on the way to place Angelica's cache.

Angelica's cache is placed on the way to Leatherman's cave. There are Ledges which this blue trail will take you so BE CAREFUL and keep children close.

The Blue joins a Yellow trail so you may not always see the blue trail markers. Stay on the Blue blazed trail to Crane's look out. The trail makes a u-turn here to go below the ledges and to the cave. The blue trail passes through the cave at N41°38.362, W073°05.270 and when you come out the other side and look to the right under the rock ledge you can see the Leatherman sleeping there? He must have stepped out. (I did not see him.)The hike will take about two hours in and out.

IF you are not into a hard hike and want to bring small chrildren, you may park at N41°38.171, W073°05.674 on Park Road and walk the FIRE ROAD. Take the second right on the fire road to the cache sight. Or take the first right which is the JERICHO TRAIL it will take you by another cave and connect to the Blue Blazed trail. Circle around to your left to the cache and back to your car. This is an easy hike for small children also.
