My aunt and I are headed to Bangor within the next month to go shopping, and of course caching! I was looking for a list of easy/quick caches to do. Thanks!

Why is it always the easy caches people want to do? Why is it never the 6-26 stage, 5 hour multis? :D

Are there any easy ones in Bangor? hmmmmmmless
Less than 3/1.5, within 3 miles of my house:

I believe the Bass Park Cache would probably fit in with that criteria as well . . . in terms of distance and ease . . . plus you get a free history lesson and you may even get to see Steve for a free herpetology lesson.:D

And if you find yourself traveling north-bound on The I and decide you can't stand listening to the Muppets Sing the Beatles Hits CD one more time you can always do my Sound of Music cache . . . it's a little outside of the Bangor City limits but well within striking distance.

Have fun! If we weren't tied up for the next few days we'd stop by and buy you an ice cream! LOL! (Or maybe a hot coffee - you'll feel at home since there are a lot of Tim Horton's shops opening in Maine!) :D :D

Same here . . . I was quite pleased to meet the cacher who placed all of those great caches on Campobello . . . and for the record, the offer to stop by and say hi if anyone is in Bangor during the week is always open.
