ThornePond#3 Traditional Cache

This was our second hiding attempt, and we decided to start to create caches along the Thorne Pond trail system allowing fellow geocachers to experience all that this area has to offer.  This is a regular sized cache in a pvc built container with a screw on end and a geocaching sticker on the outside of it.  If you find it feel free to trade swag and post a pic.

Thorne Pond is a manmade pond that is used for snowmaking across the street at Attitash Bear Peak. The pond was overrun with silt after hurricane Irene, and then cleaned in 2013 to remove the silt. As you enter the trail from the parking area you will first see a wrought iron gate, carved with a beautiful wildlife scene. There is also a wooden kiosk, where you will see a tribute to the late Nancy Chandler. She was a local retired teacher and naturalist who lead snowshoe tours and nature hikes in the area and shared her knowledge and love of nature with others. Thorne pond is stocked with fish and is a catch and release fishing pond. The trail system also connects to the Saco river, just a short walk through the woods.
