Geocache Description:

Well maybe not some meteor crater but a nice little dent, possibly an old source for stone and now a ring of immense willow trees. Situated right next to the bike path and within earshot, if the highway isn’t to busy, of the LVHS museum at Ault Park. Scan your access options carefully to save on bushwacking.

The “crater” and the old farm it was located on was known as “Vinegar Hill” and it’s believed the name came from the clear view one had of the town of Moulinette from up there. Only now the town is submerged and the water is much higher and closer now. The original cache location was to be near the remains of the farmhouse and outbuildings but the overgrowth is beyond the acceptable limits of bushwacking even for my ornery standards. To escape to the south, locate the short corridor that starts near the 4 o’clock position(12 @ hwy) at the crater and affords an easy access to the winter east west trail corridor if you want some secluded access to the lake (and raspberries!).

The cache is covered with some bark, vines leaves and situated on a good firm base. The FTF prize is within feet nearby because it won’t fit in the ammo box. I found it on my way to place this cache and figured I’d just pass on the prize, which is about the only good thing that happened during this hide. Oh wait, thanks to Binrat for the box.


Congrats to Binrat and Geogranny for getting the FTF prize

The cache contains the usual logbook, pencils and trade items consistent with the original theme of the cache which has now taken a backseat.

PS pay attention to past logs, a beeline to this cache isn't the wise choice.
