A little tributary of the river crosses the main trail and flows
into the swamp to the northwest, accompanied by a rough foottrail
along its banks.
After a short distance, the trail becomes a bit rougher, but
just before you are convinced that the trail has been abandoned, a
bridge appears, and takes you over the creek. The trail
continues, but does not improve, and becomes ever more unfriendly,
until a 2nd bridge is encountered.
Evidently it was the builder's intention that this would be a
cultivated wetland trail with structures placed for the convenience
of the hiker. If such intentions were ever met, it was a long
time ago; the bridges are old & rickety; the trail is a bit
overgrown.
At the moment (mid-April) the challenge is just spongy walking
& mud. As it dries out in summer, the wetland bushes
could become quite an impediment.
As you continue the trail, you may believe that you will perish
in the dismal swamp, but a 3rd bridge suddenly appears and crosses
over to an upland of dry woods and fields with easy trails.
The cache is hidden in a lightly wooded area near the western
boundary of the More-Brewer Park.
WARNING: On a map, it looks like the cache is just a stones
throw from Fort Hill St. and civilization. Not so; there's a
commuter rail line in between; it is fenced off completely on the
west side. There's a road crossing a 1/4 mile to the south,
but walking the tracks is illegal & dangerous.
Bite the bullet; go in at the Park trailhead, and do the distance.
There's a lot of beauty in the wildness of it.
