Geocache Description:

We've chosen the SOUTH side of Schoolhouse Brook Park as the 5th in our GAS SAVER series. Parking is the same as our 4th series on the NORTH side - on Clovermill Road - and you'll find 15 caches on these trails across the road.

NONE OF THE CACHES ARE HIDDEN IN FOUNDATIONS OR STONE WALLS

This spot is another of our favorites. It is a very peaceful place to sit and take it all in. What does the cache name mean? It is Indian for "River over which we cross on a driftwood bridge" or "Crude bridge over the water" and we felt it was a fitting name. It's perfect not only because the translation fits the area, but you are also on the Indian Trail. We spent quite a bit of time here and all will enjoy it. We bet it will be especially pretty in the winter. Search for a small sized Lock n Lock.

We've kept the hides straightforward and have given good hints due to some bounce in these heavy woods. We want you to enjoy the scenery in this great park. In total there are nineteen trails within Schoolhouse Brook Park, including a portion of the Nipmuck Trail. It is mature woods with views of a colonial mill site and many house sites and historic stone walls. This area includes Bicentennial Pond Recreation Area where the kids can play and you can picnic. Bicentennial Pond is a good fishing spot.

Most of the trails are relatively flat terrain and all are named and well marked with white blazes. There are only a couple of them with modest grades. The trails do have roots and rocks, but you CAN use your mountain bikes. We met numerous cyclists along our hike. There are also trails designated for cross country skiing

Repeat - NONE OF THE CACHES ARE HIDDEN IN FOUNDATIONS OR STONE WALLS
