Ghiloni/Mello Supply Station Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

emmett: It is time to finish with archiving my caches. I don’t want them listed on GC.com any longer. Very nice site, but very terrible treatment of cache owners. When time allows, I may publish this on another site some day.

Geocache Description:


A "supply station" (SS) cache is a variation of the "gas saver." It is located near the parking area for other caches, but it offers practical aid for those who may be short on needed supplies. The idea is to place an SS cache in the midst of a large cluster of caches or at the start of a particularly lengthy multi, as these are the spots where such a cache might be most useful.

What is a Supply Station?

If you happened to arrive at the parking lot with low batteries or unaware you were missing a critical item, or if you simply made an unplanned trip to the area, you can count on the SS cache to provide you with the basic tools you will need to find all nearby caches. At a minimum an SS cache provides pens, batteries, a flashlight, trail maps, and cache information for all nearby caches.

Here is how it works

If you need a pen - take one, it's on the house.
If you need batteries - take two and leave two dollars behind.
If you need a flashlight - take one and return it when you are done.
If you need a trail map - take one, it's on the house.

If you need coordinates for a nearby cache or other cache page information, use the sheet in the supply station, but do not take it. It's not practical to keep multiple copies of every cache page in the supply station, so record the information you are looking for and return the sheet to the container.

Please keep in mind a Supply Station is not a general store it is an emergency outpost and the supplies it contains should only be used in unexpected circumstances.

Here is how we will keep it stocked

All cachers entering the area should take responsibility for keeping each supply station stocked. Bring fresh batteries if you think of it and exchange them for the money left behind by someone else. If someone else reports a low supply of pens or trail maps or damaged cache pages, bring what is needed when you come.

Note: The trail map provided at this supply station contains the approximate location of the first stage of each area cache. A copy of this map has been uploaded to this cache page and can be printed from this link: (visit link)

If cachers post notes apprising others of what they have taken and what is left, and everyone does their part to replenish the container, the SS cache will be ready to help when needed.

Ghiloni/Mello Supply Station:

There is an access road that leads from Route 20 directly to within about 50 feet of the cache. The gate is often closed so you may need to use the main entrance on Concord Road but you will still be able to get real close with your car.

Please be careful to look up and down both ways on the paved path before you grab or replace the cache. There are often many muggles about.

This supply station was originally stocked with a log book, eight pens, six Duracell AA batteries, two flashlights, 20 maps of the combined area encompassed by Ghiloni Park, Cider Knoll and Mello Farm, and two sets of a condensed cache pages for each of the following area caches:

Annie Oak Leaf
Brianna's First
Ghiloni Nature Trail
Deception II
Insidious V - Your Doom Awaits
Get Mello

You may have occasion to visit this area while pursuing another cache or two but those cache pages will not be available in this supply station

When you log your find at the site, please do not exchange any trade items other than those supplies that other cachers might need or find helpful. When you log your find online, make sure you make a note of anything that is in short supply.
