Geocache Description:

Mill Pond is beautiful any time of the year. From the trails you may take you can see the island in the pond and the straight that separates it. If the water is low, head out to the island for a great view. On to the cache...


Here’s the deal. To make this a little more interesting than just another multi-stage cache you will need to do the following:
  • Start at either the beginning or the end point and make your way along one of several trails to the other point.
    • Beginning Point – N 42 30.574 and W 071 10.558
    • End point – N 42 30.660 and W 071 10.437
  • Look for a square stone marker along the trail. Not sure what it was for.
  • When you find the marker take a reading and then add or subtract .003 from the latitude and add or subtract .023 from the longitude.
  • This yields four possible points to search. (All are 104 feet from the stone.) Search those points until you find the cache.

The hints below are for finding the stone marker and narrowing the search for the cache. The cache itself is a watertight 2-quart round container with a white lid and is concealed by its natural surroundings.

Good Luck.
