Geocache Description:

(Otherwise known as Frogs, Chickens and Cute White Rats! And now adding Skunks and poor abandoned Kittens to the list. If you find any more abandoned Kittens, please be kind to them; and contact me immediately!)


Seen the movie? I couldn’t resist stealing its name for this cache. On this dead end road created by the Logan Airport runway expansion, you could find all three of these vehicles (and if the nearby perennial spring were stronger, you might have added boats to the list.) Boats aside, you can drive or bike to the site on the gravel road, imagine yourself at the engine when the occasional train chugs by, or watch airplanes land and takeoff on the runway before you.

The cache is outside the right-of-way of an active train track, and near the gates to an active airfield. There’s also a weather station nearby. Please don’t cross any fences or fall into any irrigation ditches. You don’t need to go anywhere near the train tracks or the airport gate to find this cache.

Cache’s original contents are a lot of train, plane and automobile-related stuff. Please trade similar stuff that can go places. :)

Sometimes the area smells rather nasty, especially in spring or when the ditches are full of water. Also, watch out for dead animals and pernicious thistles at any time of the year.
