Another of NB’s little known caves.
Get to Sussex, then to Waterford (follow the blue signs to the Poley Mountain ski area). After driving past the Waterford sign, turn right onto the Parlee Brook Road. After only approx 550m turn left onto the Glebe Road. This road is paved but becomes dirt. Travel approx 1.5 kms on the dirt until you are at the bottom of a hill. Continue up this hill for approx 400m. The Glebe Pot [N 45°39.978’ W065°23.068’] is on the left, at the edge of the road near the top of the hill. It is a limestone cave found in the side of a large sinkhole. The sinkhole goes locally by the name “Garbage Pit”. There are amounts of trash in the sinkhole and on the floor of the first drop in the cave, but no smell. IF YOU DECIDE TO EXPLORE THE CAVE PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. The entrance is small then quickly opens but never becomes extremely large. The cave drops 12.5 m in two stages and extends laterally for a total of over 15 m. You will need a rope to get down into the first level of the cave. GPSr WAAS accuracy was 3.7m when cache was concealed. Cache is an air tight plastic container covered with camo tape. Enjoy the hunt!

Whereas Howe’s Cave in Saint John has been vandalized over the years, the locals have disrespected the Glebe Pot, using it as a dumping area. If there ever was a site for “cache in trash out”, this is it.
