The Outer Space Orb Returns has flown back to its own galaxy and left a cache to be found. Please do not try to separate the parts of the cache. Only unscrew the top. Not a hard hide but you may need a "tool of the trade" to retrieve and rehide. Lots of room for swag.
Don't forget to look for the coordinates for Quirky Crustacean, especially if you entered the Rail Trail from Hanson's Ridge Rd. This will give you a cache to find on the way back to your geo-mobile.
RAIL TRAIL UPDATE: A lot has transpired since I hid the previous cache in this vicinity in 2002. About a year ago (I'm writing this is July, 2024) the City of Sanford banned motorized vehicles (ATVs, dirt bikes and such) with the exception of the portion that is Snowmobile ITS 89 during the winter (snowmobiles only) and declared the trail an official city park. Class 1 & 2 electric bikes and bona fide handicapped conveyances are allowed. Maintenance vehicles are allowed with permission/notification to the Parks & Rec Department. The Trails Committee is scheduling trail upgrades (delayed by the destruction from the early April 2024 storm) and will do as much as the City Trails Committee finances will allow each year until the Sanford/Lebanon Line is reached. Also, land abutting parts of the rail trail has been acquired by Three Rivers Land Trust (Sanford Community Forest) and the Mousam Way Land Trust (McKeon Reserve). Our network of trails is Springvale is expanding.
