Geocache Description:

Cross Country multi-cache is located along the Tufts University’s home cross country course in Grafton at the Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine on the Westborough/Grafton line.
** Additional difficulty 1 star in difficulty for snow while winter caching **


This field is used for Cross Country meets during the fall cross country season and is farmed for hay and corn. The field and cross country trail is used by the area residents as is a great place for running walking, flying kites, R/C planes or having a picnic lunch. Dogs/pets are allowed. The course is quite active during the day with recreational runners, walkers, r/c planes, etc. We have launched model rockets with my son (mint n’ cream oreo) out in the field and course is wide and groomed. In the winter it is used for cross country skiing. The cache should not be approached when a meet is in progress. Races are normally on Saturday mornings to early afternoons during the cross country season.


Instead feel free to find my other caches in Grafton and revisit later in the day when the meet is over. This is a multi cache; the coordinates will give you a starting point.


At the starting point there are 2 possible and obvious locations for part 1 of this cache, eliminate one of them and you are on your way.
Part 1 is a camouflaged plastic "blowing bubbles" container. It contains the coordinates for the final cache location


The final cache is a standard green ammo box.
There is no need to bushwhack. After finding the coordinates for part 2 get on the groomed course and stay on the course to the final cache except for the last 10-20 ft. This is our second cache hidden your comments are welcome. I hope that I rated this cache appropriately
