Geocache Description:

Short multi-cache in historic downtown Dover.


Cocheco Falls

This 4-stage multi-cache will take you on a tour of downtown Dover. Unlike 'All Over Dover,' however, each stage is an easy walk from the next. You will be afforded excellent views of Cocheco Falls, which have served as the lifeblood of Dover since the mid-1600s, and the Cocheco River.

The final cache is a Pill Bottle attached to a magnet containing coins from around the world. Please exchange a coin for a coin and record in your online log what you have left and taken so that I may keep the bank records up to date. (If you have no foreign coin to leave, simply take an American coin and leave one in its place or TNLN). The cache also contains a mini-log with enough room for name and date only. Please bring your own writing utensil to record your visit.
