Geocache Description:


At this site in Bolton, there is a "beautiful waterfall at the Morse Sawmill Dam site where a perennial stream flows parallel to Forbush Mill Road. In the eighteenth century the waterfall was the site of the foundation of one of three mills known as the Brook Sawmill. It is believed that they were built by two brothers, Joel and Joab Bernard."

The geocache is a small, plastic container with a purple, lock n lock lid.  This could be a tricky find for you.  Since this area seems to attract muggles (apparently who like to burn candles on the rocks sticking out of the dam wall!), it would be quite easy for a geocache container to be found.  I do believe I found the perfect spot where no muggle would possibly look.  With this being said, this may also increase the difficulty of cachers finding it.

The area you'll be slopping through is wet and muddy (Waterproof boots would be advisable) Depending on how nimble you are, you may or may not have to kneel in this mucky area in order to retrieve the container.  The crazy thing is this is probably my only cache I've hidden that is winter friendly!

There is a bench nearby where you can sit and sign the log and relax at the waterfall.
