This is a four-stage multicache, covering a total distance of about 1.5 miles.
The route for this multicache begins on the street, and ends in the woods, and parts of the route coincide with the Bay Circuit Trail. There's plenty of parking near Stage 1, such as the lot at N 42°08.725 W 71°14.950. There is also convenient off-street parking for the other stages.
Stage 1 is a cylindrical canister, Stage 2 is a flat stick, Stage 3 is a 4 X 4 X 4-inch box, and Stage 4 is a 7 X 7 X 2.5-inch box. Muggles may be present at any stage (but with decreasing severity as you progress from Stage 1 to Stage 4).
You'll probably want to drive between stages 1 and 2, and between stages 2 and 3, but these connections can also be made by bicycle or on foot. There's some tall grass involved at the final two stages, so small children and dogs should be kept close. Stages 3 and 4 will be difficult if there’s much snow on the ground. And, at Stage 3, please be alert for flying projectiles and poison ivy vines (especially ear Stage 2). Fishing is possible near all stages, and canoeing and kayaking are possible near stages 2, 3 and 4.

The cache initially contained some of the usual swag, a penlight, AA batteries, a First-to-Find prize and a Second-to-Find prize. Don’t rush – each stage should be enjoyable. So have fun!
