There is a physical cache here & and originally this was a
Virtual Museum for my geocoins and personal TBs. I no longer am
using this as a Virtual Gallery. If coins are listed in the cache -
they should be there. PLEASE, do not take coins out and not log
them - in the cache log or properly on line!!!
Traveling Coins and small TBs may be placed in and exchanged in
this cache. Please if you take or place TBs in this cache place the
information in the cache log book and in the on-line log. Your
cooperation will be appreciated by other cachers.
Accessed off Route 15 - you will finally find Settlers Way.
Settlers Way used to be the main road (RT 15) until a few years ago
when it was rerouted. This area has been used by the public for a
long time to access the river and enjoy the views.
Years ago, there used to be a lovely gazebeo which overlooked
the river. This area isn't used a lot lately except by the usual
youth for - well you know - activities. Hoping the caching activity
will discourage them. The Community Policing Program knows about
the cache - but NOT the location. The house to your left, as you
drive down the access road, has a beautiful widow's walk (open).
When you find the cache location - just image being in that widow's
walk waiting for your husband to cruise up the river on a winter
day!
A historian also has noted that the JAMES E. COBURN, a grand
sailing ship was built here in Shipyard Cove in 1919. Laminated
photo cards are sometimes available in the cache. If you would like
one, feel free to take one. This history puts a whole different
look to the area as well. You will notice the rocks near the shore
have a specific plan as if for the foundation of a wharf or
pier.
I hope you enjoy your visit. Although the road is not plowed in
winter this should be accessible all year long - it will just be a
ski or snowshoe hike. In winter - please do not block the driveway
to the parking lot on the right behind the house on Settlers
Way.
This location is a great spot to launch a boat or just sit and
have a picnic (sorry there are no tables).
Included in this cache are: a log book, a pen and the usual
trade items found in a cache. Hope you enjoy the cache and visit to
my town!
