Geocache Description:


NOTE: This cache is one of three caches on this trail that has coordinates inside the lid for the MYSTERY CACHE which is located at:  N42 25.ABC  W071 34.DEF


Cache is located at KEYES FARM in Bolton.  The terrain is best described as rolling hills with rocks and roots off and on as you meander along the trail.  The second half of the trail loops and there is a small field you will cross twice while hiking the loop. Although the trail is only about a mile out and back it is strenuous enough that it seems longer.  Bringing hydration with you is strongly encouraged especially on warmer days.

The trail itself has yellow blazes on trees to help guide you but there seems to be areas where the blazes disappear for a bit.  Parts of the trail are highly visible and other parts not so much.  Some parts of the trail also have logs alongside the trail to help navigate.
 

Cache is not far from the trail and there is red white and blue decor to draw your attention to GZ.  There are two fallen trees at the stone wall that form an X.  Beneath this X you will see some rocks with sticks over the top of them.  The cache is medium-sized, bowl-shaped lock n lock container covered in camouflage tape.  Make sure to put the sticks back over the rocks and container to keep hidden from people hiking the trail.

This trail doesn't show up in the geocaching app but I am including a link below that includes a map of the trail to help you keep your bearings as you hike along it.
