Geocache Description:

Glacial erratics are pieces of rock transported by glaciers and left where they melted out of the ice. These are resting on bedrock and are some of the largest I have seen along the coast of Maine. I found these several years ago while prospecting for minerals in the area.

The cache is located in Phippsburg,Maine near The Basin. Parking is located at N 43 48.646 W 069 50.665 at a turnout. There is a sign nearby that says "Road not maintained for winter travel". Follow the ATV trail thru the old gravel pit then bushwhack a short distance up over the ledges to a clearcut area.Watch for deer I saw a couple the day I placed the cache. From there follow your GPSr. The cache container is a Camoed Ammo Box. There is a logbook, a camera to take pictures of your visit and items for all ages. If it is a clear day you can continue up to the top N 43 48.874 W 069 50.247 for a great view of Harpswell Sound. If the visibility is good you can see Pleasant Mountain and Mt Washington. This is optional but well worth the short hike. Enjoy your visit. If you're good at math try to figure out how many tons these boulders weigh. Amazing that the glaciers carried these along with no problem.
