Geocache Description:

Quick pitstop on Route 2 West.

This first cache of mine was inspired by the similar quick pitstops on Route 495 in Chelmsford/Lowell, see the cache listings for Moose-r-us, and MrEdden,. Since I placed it I have noticed some in rest stops and park and ride places on Rt 93 just over the border in NH, and a whole series of them in rest stops on the Mass Pike by Stargeezer.
Route 2 is called the Mohawk Trail, but that's really some 40 or 50 miles farther west from here.

The container is small and has no room for normal trade items (except maybe a few coins). There is no writing instrument inside so bring your own.

This is a high traffic (s.i.c) area so be sneaky and the location may be occupied so you may have to return some other time.

While here visit the John Chapman aka Johnny Appleseed visitor center and see a brass statue of him in front. If they ever fix the machine you can patriotically smash a penny with a Massachusetts logo.

There are a few caches off the immediate next exit then about a mile and half up, and many others beyond this gateway to the west.

Ok, as a hint about my hint. Crack open a physics textbook. Or better yet, bring it or any book to use as a ruse to avoid suspicious activity at the site. As long as it's not raining there or too much snow you could actually enjoy the sunlight even when cold.
