Simply put; this was a cool one. My Explorist GC chimed to let us know we hit ground zero, but our location (the middle of a path deep in a dense forest) didn’t really seem to be a spot that was typical for hiding a cache. After poking around for a few minutes, Tyler – spotted it – at least 30+ feet up, hanging from a branch. Getting it down was easy… putting it back was the challenge – on a tree with no branches to climb – but much more fun than simply finding it behind a rock. I won’t mention anything further, such as, the cache name, etc. so others can experience the fun/challenge when they stumble upon this one.

Memories – I attended JG Luther for grades 1-6 in the early-mid 70′s as I grew up in Swansea, MA, and I remember helping to clean and re-open the museum of the same name up the road decades ago with friends and parents. The museum is really cool, and is essentially a small brick/stone house located in a neighborhood amongst newer wood homes. I remember it having a lot of arrowheads and other early settler/Native American artifacts found in the area on display. I also remember being wowed as a kid by the skeleton of an unfortunate person killed by an arrow (there is an arrowhead stuck in the pelvis). However, I don’t think I’ve ever been to this cemetary. The cache is located on the outskirts, near the trees.

Found this one while in the area. Great view of Providence way off in the distance from the cache location!
