Geocache Description:

This is a letterbox hybrid located next to one of my favorite tree on the Gallagher trail at the Nordic heritage Ski Center. This tree change the direction of the trail when it was being cut in 2001.

Welcome to the Nordic Heritage Ski Center. This is a free - four season recreational area for people powered sports with extensive ski and bike trails. The area is owned by the Maine Winter Sport Center and operated by volunteers from the Nordic Heritage Ski Club.

Maine Winter Sports Center (MWSC) was founded in 1999 to re-establish skiing as a lifestyle in Maine. The goal is to create a new economic model for rural communities, create healthier lifestyles for the youth and develop a foundation for a quality of life that will inspire people to build their futures in these communities.

The Nordic Heritage Center has been referred to as one of the top Nordic facilities in the world by an international licensing delegation. It is operated by the Nordic Heritage Ski Club, a non-profit corporation, which works hard to fulfill the mission of MWSC. The Ski Club hosts local, national and international cross country and biathlon competitions as well as community development programs. We hope you will take the opportunity to come and see what has the rest of the world so excited.

The cache is located on the Gallagher trail. A trail sign can be found on the side of the building in the parking lot. Take some time and explorer the facility. Please sign the logbook showing that you were there. This cache is good in all seasons. Please do not take the stamp on the inside of the cover.
