Geocache Description:

This ammo box cache is located near the top of the notch and about 25 yards off the road, tucked between two immense rocks. It's fairly easy in the summer and a lot longer hike in the winter.

The area is scenic and well-worth visiting.

It is worth noting that the area the cache is in receives significant snow most winters.  Approaching the cache from the north on route 108 is impossible once snow has fallen because the state closes the road through Smuggler's Notch.  This cache is a relatively easy find when there's no snow on the ground, although trees may make reception tricky at some times of the year and muggles may complicate things at peak tourist periods.


Cache history: this cache was originally placed by "northernwanderers", who, unfortunately, got the coordinates very very very wrong and then never corrected them and never logged in again on the geocaching.com website.   In October of 2004, Otter and Lemur adopted the cache and corrected things.

In January of 2006 BilboB agreed to adopt the cache.

*****UPDATE April 22, 2006***** I just want to thank everyone who has taken the time out to find this cache and to all who have yet to find it. I will be deployed in support of the Global War on Terrorism to Iraq for about 14 months. Darrel of DJ and Cal has graciously agreed to adopt my caches and maintain them while I am gone and I really appreciate that. Thanks everyone and see you next year!
