Geocache Description:


Too Wet for Hrothgar Cache

When I went to scout out Nashoba Wetlands, I assumed it would be a typical local swamp with logs and moss mounds to bound across and small islands to hide a cache on. 

Nope!

This conservation land is essentially a peninsula with a path surrounded on three sides by water so deep I wouldn’t enter it unless I was wearing chest waders. 

I surrendered. Victory to Nasoba Wetlands. 

I don’t own waders, just knee-high rubber boot, so this cache is hidden on dry land. Nashoba Wetlands doesn’t have much of it and the coords will narrow the search area even further so I'm not providing photos or extra hints.

Good luck!

Please take note of the position of the cache container before retrieving it and be sure to return the container to it's original hiding location in order to maintain the intended level of concealment. Also, I would appreciate feedback on the condition of my containers. Each one is an experiment to make them more durable, watertight and inconspicuous. Thank you!

Special thanks to Littleton Conservation Trustee Dustin Neild.

A gift from Hrothgar, the self-styled sovereign of the Nashoba Valley!
