The Stone of Hrothgar Cache
Behold the Stone of Hrothgar! This stone is mine by divine right because I stand atop it. And know this truth, my loyal subjects: all that lays beneath my feet is mine and mine alone!
Long Lake Park, mine! The Nashoba Valley, mine! Nīewa Englaland, mīn! The globe entire, MINE!!
MINE, MINE, ALL MINE!!!
Now bow before Hrothgar, King, nay…Emperor of the World!
Wait, why are you all still standing?!
[Members of a small crowd of bypassers shout back at the presumptuous man wearing a small paper crown]
“We had a revolution to rid ourselves of kings!”
“Your claims are antithetical to the intent of the Founders!”
“Your crown looks suspiciously like the free gift with purchase of any kid’s combo meal!”
“I crave subjugation, my Liege!”
[Crowd: “Oh shut up!”]
“Your name isn’t actually Hrothgar, you’re not really a king and that stone belongs to the Littleton Conservation Trust!”
Sigh…very well. I’ll proceed with the description, hints and such.
Find the stone in the photo. Mentally rotate the pointy edge of the stone due South. Search in that direction.
The cache container is wrapped in orange duct tape and completely concealed.
**Significant snowfall will make this cache more difficult to find**
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!

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