Witches Cave Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MadMin: I attempted to contact the owner of Witches CAve to find out about the status of this cache on June 5, 2006. I have received no response from the owner on the cache page or via email. Because of that I'm afraid I have to archive this cache.

If you would like to replace it and have it reinstated, please contact me through my profile.

Please note that unarchiving a cache page places it through the same review process as a newly proposed cache, using the cache placement guidelines currently in effect.

Geocache Description:

Very spooky trails. Don't go alone. The families of the Towne children, Rebecca Nurse, Sara Clayes, Mary Esty and Edmund Towne fled the Salem witch hunt and hid in these caves in 1693.

These are the authentic caves the Salem witches hid in in 1693. If you park at the 4 car parking turnout on Salem End Road, the trail is very spooky. This is the best way in. Be sure to take the trail that says Coassock Woods. If you go in through Ashland State Forest off Oregon Road, it will more than a 2 mile hike. You can also go in off Winter Street in Ashland.

You will see a huge hill of Rocks near the end of a road. The tupperware container is in a cave. You will have to crawl in. There are alot of caves! Careful with children.
Hide the cache well. Alot of kids play around here.

Watch out for the witches. They may still be around. Leave something spooky and take something spooky!
