Chase Away the Blues Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

Bag o' Tricks: Due to injury I am unable to access this cache with a reasonable degree of safety. I do not know of any "local" cachers at this time who would be able to do maintenance or verify the stages. Therefore I am archiving this cache. The Chase Reservoir remains a great place for exploration and enjoyment of southern New England geology, topography, flora and fauna.

Geocache Description:

A three stage multi along the shores of the Chase Reservoir

This property was given to the Town of Killingly as the result of state-sponsored tax incentives given to water companies who donate "excess" land to municipalities, conservation organizations and land trusts.

Chase Reservoir is open for many passive recreational pursuits from dawn to dusk. Parking for a couple of vehicles may be found at: N 41 51.405, W 071 50.148.

I began geocaching as a way to "chase away the blues" when I could no longer pursue bicycling and kayaking with my former ardor as the result of some injuries. While I still miss those activities, in New England they are somewhat curtailed in winter months. As we all know, it's a rare day that an addicted geocacher can't pursue his hobby! And you see some of the greatest places and meet some of the nicest people.

So take some time, enjoy the trails, maybe sit for a few moments on an informal stone bench and let the blues just slide away.

4/13/06 Note: Second stage has been moved due to high incidence of muggle activity at that site. Do be sure to notice the prominent and growing neolithic activities along the water's edge.

Also, final was found in the open, but undisturbed on today's maintenance run. There are many good camo materials nearby. Please take advantage of them.
