Geocache Description:


To determine the final location you need to look for a RED sign with a numeral on it a the published coords. Throughout the gorge there are trees with signed installed by the Haverhill Trails Committee and keyed to their Haverhill Trails guide that identify the tree type.

If the number is 1, the cache is at Plum Island

If the number is 9, the cache is at N 42 48.540  W 071 09.478

If the number is 6, the cache is at N 42 48.454  W 071 09.792

 

As you walk in and near the Essex County Greenbelt Association property  you will come across the remnants of automobiles and like me, wonder how did they get here?  Or maybe you won't. Today I found still another and although not an entire car- the chassis frame and several components are there-it's flipped upside down! Certainly not easy. To find this you will need to explore the woods away from the trail. I'm not going to tell you where. Bushwhack.

This cache is within the City of Haverhill Crystal Gorge Conservation Area. but the easiest approach is from the loop trail on Greenbelt property.

Greenbelt acquired land abutting the City property and created a trail that is accessible from and connected to the OLSEN LOOP Trail in Crystal Gorge. From the parking area on Crystal Street head in and take the Olsen Loop Trail west.

Greenbelt's GIS team has created a map of their trail as well as the City's trails in the area. Greenbelt has a FREE app called GreenbeltGo which you can download FOR FREE and it's great! There is cell service in the area. Enjoy the trails.
