We placed this quick park & grab alongside the Androscoggin River (in May, after the snowmelt) as the first of a few caches highlighting this mighty waterway. As a micro cache, please BYOP. Coordinates in this area can be bouncy. The cache is at the top of the hill on a man-made host object - no need to descend the slope and go anywhere near the active train tracks.
The Androscoggin River is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 miles (286 km) long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin is 3,530 square miles (9,100 km2) in area. The name "Androscoggin" comes from the Eastern Abenaki term /aləssíkɑntəkw/ or /alsíkɑntəkw/, meaning "river of cliff rock shelters" (literally "thus-deep-dwelling-river"); or perhaps from Penobscot /aləsstkɑtəkʷ/, meaning "river of rock shelters".
