Located in a Historic Area of town the name of this creek is now
Mill Creek. The cache title indicates the name the Indian's called
this creek years ago. If you look up stream you can see the
footings of where an old mill used to rest. This cache is part of
the Maine R.O.S.E. Series and is meant to be really obvious, simple
and easy. It's perfect for cachers who want a quick find, or who
are not up for a physical challenge. The purpose of this series is
to promote caching to everyone, and create a fun family cache
experience. Some fellow cachers get discouraged by vague
descriptions and caches that appear to be difficult hides. Our
attempt here is to make the cacher aware of the entire situation
before they attempt the cache. If you have any comments that should
be added, please let us know.
Directions: This cache is located in South Orrington
off Route 15 on a small, side, dead-end road. The name of the cache
is the Native American name for the body of water. The site is near
a very old mill site up-stream and is frequented by fishermen
during the season. Please use stealth so this is not muggled.
Parking: There is space for a single car to pull to
the side of this road near the cache site. In winter, snow may
inhibit pulling to the side of the road and doing so may reduce
this access road to one lane so please use caution. This can be a
busy road.
Difficulty: This cache has been rated 1.5 for
difficulty because the cache is not in plain sight. You will need
to remove the cache from a man made structure on the side of the
road.
Terrain: This cache has been rated 1.5 for terrain
because there is no trail.
Distance: The distance from the place to pull to the
side of the road to the cache is roughly 20-80 feet, depending on
where you choose to park.
Cache Container: The container is a small rectangular
Lock N' Lock type container.
More Information: This series has been developed in
collaboration with Cache Maine and Becket. We have each committed
to hiding a dozen rose caches in our area. The release of these
roses will be sporatic in hopes to have three dozen live by
Valentine's Day 2007.
