    Question Favorite Cache Locations

    I'm planning on focusing a feature in the November Newsletter on favorite cache locations and stories. This was spurred by a post by DFK. If you would like to share your stories about your favorite cache location, please do! If you'd like to voice your thoughts about what makes a great cache location, that's great too!

    In September, the newsletter contained a feature around must-have cache characteristics, so I would like to focus this feature on cache locations and not other cache characteristics. Talk about the location you're brought to and why it's so enjoyable. Thanks so much!

    What is the deadline on this one - home from Eustis - woot - fond memories. Just a tad tired. You missed a wicked good event!

    See our log entry for this cache. The way caching in Maine used to be.

    Want an absolutely gorgeous location? Try this cache.

    And, throwing modesty aside, I ask you to look at the latest log entry - Sep 19th - for this cache.

    That's what makes a great cache...

    Thanks for the post! Many cachers enjoy the hikes through woods, across streams, or to great views...
    keep 'em coming!

    Sheesh! Three or four years ago, that's what geocaching was all about, and the GREAT hikes and GREAT views were what made geocaching in Maine special.

    Well, I just turned 60, so I'm now OFFICIALLY old and out of touch. Grumpier, too...

    Try my "Pickle Hill Overlook" cache, that I placed up above Flagstaff Lake. That's quite a nice location. Am I wrong to toot my own horn?....Don't toot your horn on Pickle Hill; you may attract an amorous Moose!

    I thought about this for just a short time and came up with this one as probably one of my all time favorites....

    http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache...7-cd23bf0191bc

    Especially when the owners were with us that day and decided to have a big laugh and not HELP US in any way fashionable :eek Imagine looking for hockey pucks in the middle of nowhere. The final was absolutely georgeous though and worth every bit of blood ,sweat ,and tears to get it.

    The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
    suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
    friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

    Default Pickle Hill Overlook

    No, you're not wrong at all. If you check my log, you'll find that this cache was our favorite of our as yet brief caching career. But we have done over 1300, so we certainly have a few to compare it to and it's number 1 for us!!!

    Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

    Oh yeah - Brdad's "You Sank My Battleship" has to be one of the great ones in Maine. A classic!


    Sheesh! We did this one over 4 years ago. Haffy & me in my car, The G Team in another... We had printed maps, radios, cell phones... We took 1/2 of Bangor and G Team took the other half. That was fun!
