Located near a scenic view point on the Ferry Point Trail in the Great Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
This is one of four caches surrounding New Hampshire's scenic Great Bay (see also "A's at Sandy Point," "Erosion," and "Adam's Point"); this cache is located within one of the newest national wildlife refuges. Access to the Refuge is through the entrance to Pease International TradePort in Newington, NH; there's a convenient exit off of Route 4/Spaulding Turnpike--- follow the signs towards the TradePort, and then to the Refuge. The Refuge has two established trails: The cache is located on the Ferry Point trail. It's a two mile loop over gently rolling terrain and generally easy going, except during or after wet weather when things can get a bit soupy. The trail is like a walk back through time: You start at relic of the Cold War--- the refuge headquarters is at a former (ugly) munitions storage facility left over from when Pease was an Air Force/SAC base during the 1960s! Walking past that relic takes you back through fields, second-growth forests, and old stands of conifers. Keep your eyes and ears open: Deer, beaver, many birds (including bald eagles) frequent the area. (Note: Because it's a wildlife refuge, domestic pets aren't allowed on the trails--- they'd scare off the wildlife.) The cache is in a white/clear Rubbermaid container, and was seeded with things that begin with the letter "L:" a lemon (plastic), a lock, laces, a toy llama, a toy lion, lip balm, a toy Land Rover, and (of course) a log book. It's not essential to limit yourself to "L" things, but it's fun to try. There's a camera in the cache, too; Please feel free to take a photo of yourself, and let us know if you take the last shot on the roll. GPS NOTE: The area's many trees make getting an accurate GPS signal somewhat problematic in some locations and orientations. (Consider it part of the challenge! 8-) )But if you have trouble, the hint or the photo will surely get you to the cache. For Fun: On the route back (the trail is a loop) see if you can find the abandoned hunting cabin in the overgrowth at N43 05.492, W-70 51.487! |

Open Log: Non-commercial use only Nice sunny day and a great area to take a walk. Got some photos of Adams Point. Took a American Flag pencil and left an Alka Seltzer (matchbox type) car.

Open Log: Personal use only Another Great cache on Great Bay. I never knew that there was so much undeveloped land out there. It was interesting to see Adam’s Point from the other side, unfortunately it was very hazy and the views of the rest of the bay weren’t real good. Overlooked the hiding spot at first and went looking elsewhere only to return and kick myself for not looking more carefully. I saw a beaver, great blue heron, and a bunch of turkeys on the way back to my car. I forgot to check out the old cabin, I guess now I gave an excuse to come back to this great spot.
