Secret Spring Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

brentbeebe: I'd rather open up this area to a new cache hider than have a disabled one sit here forever. I was probably going to create a new listing anyhow, with a slightly different location (based on a suggestion I received from the irving). I still might go ahead and hide another in the area, but if someone manages to beat me to it, I won't mind at all. If that's the case, I'll even have fun coming back to get it sometime since this is such a great location! Thanks to everyone who has visited.

Geocache Description:

Location is near historic Sandy Spring Friends House. Cache is an approximately 6" x 6" x 7" Lock & Lock and should be fairly easy to find once you're in the general area.

This location is one of my favorite "hidden" spots in Montgomery County. There is trail leading directly to the cache. The path is a little over a half mile of very pleasant walking and is easy to follow. It starts out as a paved road, becoming a farm track further on. (Take some care to avoid wandering into driveways that look like parts of the road.) Some parts of the farm track are usually washed out, so don't try to drive past the parking lot. Most days you can park at the Meeting House, but if a meeting is underway, it's best to park in the lots closer to Rt. 108. Meetings take place on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. and 11:00 a.m., so I'd avoid the area until afternoon on Sundays. The Meeting House and immediate area are also interesting and the folks there are very friendly. Closer to the cache I have noticed some trash lately. Take a moment to pack out some garbage if you can and keep this serene spot clean. (Ps. This is an excellent cache for younger kids, so there's lots of kid-friendly goodies in the stash.)
