Pack 306 Arlington - Sandy Beach Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Loch Cache: I checked on the cache location and found construction going on 40 feet from the spot. It looks like the telephone pole the cache was hidden under is in a scrape heap now. This cache will not be able to go back out at that location. Good bye Sandy Beach.

The area is still ripe for another cache and there are a lot of spots for one to be placed.

Geocache Description:

On Saturday, July 22, I took a group of Cub Scouts out to the fields near Sandy Beach and showed them how to use a compass, map and GPS. Part of the day included finding a temporary geocache I had hidden. In addition, each of the kids brought an item to stock a new geocache. This cache is placed close to the temporary location and contains those trade items. Please try to keep the trade items kid friendly. – Loch Cache


Sandy Beach, Winchester is a fresh water beach that is good for small kids or sunbathing. It is located near the Winchester-Medford line on the Upper Mystic Lake. The parking at Sandy Beach is free. During the summer months there are a lot of people around on the weekends and in the early evenings. Please be careful of Muggles.

The cache itself is a 3x8 inch lok-n-lok container taped with camouflage duct tape. Due to the muggle factor I had to get creative with the hide and used a couple of items I found in the park to add to the camouflage. Please put things back as they were when you found it. Turning it slightly as you put it back will help it stay hidden.

Good luck and good caching,
Loch Cache and the cubs of Pack 306
