Geocache Description:

Hampden, Maine

There are 8 stops in this multi-cache. They can be done in any order. The coords listed above are for Stop A, not the final cache.
Final cache site: Parking and trailhead (walking path) are located near a hotel. Please do not park along the road, or near the railroad tracks. There is not enough room to get a vehicle far enough off the road and out of the way of the big trucks that come flying around the corner at all times of the day. Please park near the hotel.
The hike is about .20 miles. It's a mowed grass path in summer, and there's ususally plenty of snowmobile tracks to walk on in the winter. Pets are allowed.

CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS NEAR CACHE TRAILHEAD

The trailhead is located near a large construction project so please use common sense when attempting this cache. Do not walk through the construction site. There is a small white house located next to the hotel. The trailhead is now to the right of this small house if you are on the paved road, (hotel is to the left). The trailhead can easily be accessed from the little field (Road). Good Luck!
