Geocache Description:

This cache is loacated on the top of Wenepoykin Hill, at the intersection of both fire roads and hiking trails.

This is a cache with family in mind. It is accessible to those who wish to bike and the skyline trail offers some great views into Boston and to the North. No bikes on the trail leading to the cache please, it helps preserve our Middlesex Fells.

For those interested, it is a nice spot to sit and stay a while. Warm rocks in the summer allow a great picnic site.

*Revised* The Cache:

This cache went through tupperware which holds up in the wild but not around rocks. It now has a durable plastic box with watertight lid. Its rather carefully hidden so please be careful when placing rocks back. You should be able to find it. The cache has been reduced in size a bit, so please if you come to swap swag, make sure its smaller than a hot wheels car!

I re-started the cache with two new notebooks and some pens, but keep signing the old notebook from 09 until its filled up. When my cache was replaced, the old notebooks went with it. I'd love to get them back!

Please log on here what you leave and take if you want. I can give you hints and clues as to where it is.

As for the title, I am including points of interest in Medford and the Middlesex Fells. On here, you will find some links to the history of the fells as well as Medford for some fun things to do after!
