We will start at the trailhead (N 42° 26.597 W 071° 03.809) at the end of the parking lot accessible off Sylvan St in Melrose at 915AM, rain or shine. Bring your water, bug spray and wear clothes amenable to light bushwhacking through possible poison oak patches. If you have a portable GPS, bring it, otherwise I will have mine. Please also bring a bag or two for trash pick up, in keeping with the "cache in/trash out" philosophy.
All ages welcome (my 11 yr old son will likely be with me).
One final word on preparations for this geocaching trip, from the geocaching group that placed these caches:
" Note: There seems to be trash scattered throughout the hiking trails. I have been picking up what I can but remember to cache in/trash out and help me get this park looking great again. Thanks to all who visit my caches. -"SS""
