Geocache Description:

There are 3 large cylinders ( water towers ) that can all be seen from the hill near the given coordinates. There’s a white one W, a blue one B and a green one G. The coordinates of each cylinder is given below. You don’t have to visit any of these cylinders to solve the cache. The cache is hidden very close to a 4 th less prominent cylinder C, which is a smaller cylinder ( about 20ft high and blue in color ) and can only be seen when you get within 200 ft. of it.

The coordinates of the 3 cylinders are as follows:

G ( N 42 29.585 , W 71 11.801 )
B ( N 42 29.022 , W 71 09.886 )
W (N 42 28.794 , W 71 11.724 )

As luck would have it, the line segment GB is exactly PARALLEL to the line segment WC ( give or take a meter ). At the given coordinates you will find the corner post of a chain link fence on which I’ve written the LONGITUDE only of the cache. The cache is located along a popular walking trail and there is no need to bushwhack. Please be discreet and careful when removing and replacing it. Small durable items will work best for trading.
