The Cache Across America Series: This is a series of caches that will take you on a caching tour of the entire United States. One cache is hidden in each of the 50 states. These caches each contain a numeric clue that will lead you to one final cache located in our nation's capitol upon completion of the series.

About this cache: This cache is located in a park in Montpelier, Vermont. It is an easy hike and kid friendly. The cache itself is located about 75 feet from the trail and a little bushwhacking is involved. During the summer there is lots of vegetation but in the winter it is easier to get to the cache. However in the winter snow may make the cache difficult to find.

Montpelier is the smallest capital city in the U.S., and yet it has many attractions for tourists and locals alike. The capitol building is a great place to photograph with its golden dome and green lawn. There is nearby Hubbard Park and its tower, the Vermont Historical Society Museum, the T.W. Wood Art Gallery and Green Mount Cemetery with unique monuments from talented sculptors. From May to October there is a farmer's market downtown on Saturdays from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.

The original cache contents is several Vermont souvenirs (keychains, magnets, euro stickers and the like); a bunch of TB's (including the 50-State TB) and the log book. It would be nice if you traded items from other states, but not required.
