docross: Waypoint 1 is missing and the terrain around the final has changed dramatically in the years since this was placed in 2007. I've collected wp 2 and the final. Thanks to all who visited.

Geocache Description:

A multi-stage cache in Bear Brook State Park. 400 feet elevation gain and about 2.5 miles of walking. The above coordinates are for the first stage, which is in a small container, as is the second stage. The final is a half-liter Nalgene bottle.

This cache attempts to replace the Bonus Ball cache, which has been archived. Neither of the two waypoints nor the final have the same coordinates as the previous cache, and I hope it will be a challenge for all!

Parking is available at N43 09.727 W071 23.331. There may be a fee in the summer months.

Catamount Hill is the name of the height that you will have to scale while searching for this cache. Don't worry, though, because there is an excellent albeit rather steep path to the summit, where you will be rewarded by views of all the surrounding area (rainy and cloudy days excepted).

Although catamount is the local name for cougar or mountain lion, to my knowledge there are none currently residing in the park. Still, you may find many other animals and birds, so keep your eyes open! There are pricker bushes en route to the final, so wearing long pants and long sleeves would be prudent.

All stages are winter-friendly. Please replace each exactly as you found it (unless it's on the ground ). free counters
