Take Me To The River Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

MadMin: I attempted to contact the owner of Take Me To The River Cache to find out about the status of this cache on January 29, 2011. I have received no response from the owner on the cache page or via email. Because of that I'm afraid I have to archive this cache.

I will be more than happy to review this cache again and (hopefully) reinstate it once you have corrected any issues with the cache. please contact me via ma.reviewer@gmail.com to do so.

Please note that unarchiving a cache page places it through the same review process as a newly proposed cache, using the cache placement guidelines currently in effect.

Geocache Description:

This cache provides a nice easy hike along a section of the Ware River.

Park at N 42 14.257 W 072 16.844 which is in the parking lot of a large department store chain's Supercenter on Rt 32 in Ware.

There are 2 other caches that you can grab while parked here. My Yet ANOTHER Wally World Micro, and Dosido's Ware's ground zero? Not here!

The trailhead is due West from here. The first part of the trail takes you through some wetlands, where I've seen a variety of birds and some waterfowl. when you come to the intersection of trails you have to cross the beaver dam that has flooded the trail. I have yet to find it impassible but if it is due to heavy rains or otherwise, there is another way there behind the store. Just follow the guardrail where you parked to the chain-link fence and there's another trail there.

There are several nice areas along the way to enjoy the river. The Mass. Central Railroad line runs along the opposite riverbank. As you trek on, you will notice where the beavers have been doing their logging. After that point the trail will head away from the river and up a small hill. At that point you will have to find a poorly worn footpath that you will want to take.

Cache is a 10"x3"x7" ammo box. FTF prize is my first geocoin (Coast to Coast) and/or Travel Bug (Go Pats Go). Please help them along on their journeys.

Original contents are as follows:
Geocoin Coast to Coast
TB Go Pats Go!
LED Keychain flashlight
6 Official Geocaching.com pencils (Take only one please)
2 Hooded emergency rain ponchos
2 of those white oval stickers that you see on cars. One says GPS, the other says GEO.
Earth Wind and Fire's Greatest Hits Cassette
Bug Spray (use what you need but leave for others please)
There are also additional ziplocks in there.

Enjoy!
