+Mikey Walnuts Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hey ya'll! I could really use some help picking out a cache for my 100th find. I will be going to find it on Friday afternoon and this will also be my 3rd date with this girl I've really been digging (and yes our first date was a caching date!). So, yeah, I really want this one to be memorable! So, some background to help you get an idea of what I like: -We are both 24 years old -I much prefer rural caches over urban -Ammo cans and lock n' locks are my best friends -I have not done any sea coast caches, which is wicked weird for a proud Rhode Islander -A nice <5 mile hike is always nice -A history lesson behind a cache is always welcome So if anybody could help me pick a memorable cache within an hour and a half drive from Framingham Mass I would be eternally grateful to you! I would preferably go north toward New Hampshire or Vermont, but I would be happy with a MA or RI cache if it's really memorable. Quote Link to comment

Also has several other caches around. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Head west on the pike for a few exits, then head north on 91 to Holyoke for a wicked awesome hike on Mt Tom. There are several traditional hides on the trails, this one is at the summit, but I am partial to the view from this one. On a clear day you can see halfway back to Framingham. You can also find a virtual with some excellent albeit sad history, and a pretty cool Earthcache nearby with some real ancient history for a bonus. Then head up Rt 5 into Northampton and choose from a wide variety of excellent small locally owned restaurants, pubs, and clubs to finish off the date. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the New England forum. Quote Link to comment
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Laura's Tower in Stockbridge. Nice walk up a small mountain, with great views. You can even see Greylock on a clear day. Quote Link to comment
+Mikey Walnuts Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Sorry for the late reply everybody!I've been swamped at work and haven't had a moment to log on. I ended up going to Mount Monadnock with the lady friend and had a great time! Unfortunately though she had work until 3 and reaching the summit would've meant that we would have to hike back in the dark, so we only ended up going halfway up. So that means Cache #100 is delayed for another couple days. I want to thank you all for your suggestions and they are all written down so I can get to them sometime this year. It's going to be a busy summer of caching for me! Quote Link to comment
+Borst68 Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 GCEO - Also's Andover Geocache. One of the oldest geocaches in MASS (Dec. 2000). It's in the Ward Reservation. There are plenty of other caches to hike to. It's a nice forested area. i enjoyed my visit there a lot. http://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCE0_aldos-andover-geocache Quote Link to comment
