Mum's The Word (The Sequel) Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

BiPR: It is with regret that I am archiving this cache. Demands on my time have changed and I'm not able to keep up with finding, replacing or maintaining it. I'm glad it helped the NHS kids learn about geolocating. Thanks to all who spent time to find it. Apologies to the recent ones who left empty-handed.

Geocache Description:

The Mumford Riverwalk is a woodland path bordering Linwood Avenue and the Mumford River. This is a two-part multi. Only the last few meters are off the trail for either stage. Refinds (from the original) are allowed!

Photos from the first and occasional subsequent finders can be found at http://www.worldisround.com/articles/292154/. Copy and paste the URL into your browser.

I like to duck off of busy Linwood Avenue to run or walk on the Mumford Riverwalk, especially on a hot day. The whole path is about .65 mile one way. It runs along Linwood Ave.'s shoulder for a short stretch, but then winds down towards the river and Linwood Pond. There are benches and a duck blind for observing wildlife. Check out the interpretive signs done in calligraphy by renowned local artist Maria Thomas. A little treasure in the heart of Whitinsville.

The first stage is a film-cannister micro, hidden very near the original pre-muggled "Mum's the Word." The final cache is a very small plastic container with a log book and a few small trade items. Please keep it hidden since muggles come by fairly often. Total distance is about 1.2 miles round trip.

Not recommended for deep snow. Deep leaves may also obscure the first stage. PLEASE KEEP BOTH STAGES HIDDEN - THIS PLACE GETS MUGGLED.
