'Red' reading Andy's letter

This cache is the first [in reverse order] of a series of 4 that I'm working on about one of my favorite movies of all times "The Shawshank Redemption"

"Andy Dufresne: [in a letter to Red] Dear Red. If you’re reading this, you’ve gotten out. And if you’ve come this far, maybe you’re willing to come a little further. You remember the name of the town, don’t you? 

Red: Zihuatanejo. 

Andy Dufresne: I could use a good man to help me get my project on wheels. I’ll keep an eye out for you and the chessboard ready. Remember, Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. I will be hoping that this letter finds you, and finds you well. Your friend. Andy."

This is not a hayfield in Buxton Maine, however there is indeed a cool big tree some where in there "right out of a Robert Frost poem" [-kind of sort of more or less- and specially after it blooms more in late spring & summer] ;)

You are looking for a nice size camo mayo jar.  There is space for small trackables and for swag exchange, please help disguise the hiding spot after you return the cache to its place. * I left a traveling Geocoin and a gift for FTF * CITO action will be appreciated. 

There is a trailhead for this part of the Sand Creek a short hike west of GZ [at the end of E52th Ave]

I made this a lot tougher than it needed to be, should have just followed the hint. Added a log paper for the next cachers, thanks.

Found quickly, but there is no log! I stamped the inside of the lid because I don’t have any log paper left on me. (I forgot to get more ugh) I like the unique name and fantastic trail! TFTC.

I had to replace the original cache because it was in very bad shape and also moved the location a bit to the west it definitely now "rocks"!! ;)

The original location is quite trashed by occasional campers, now is in a better spot and I left few goodies [feel free to take one and leave something in exchange]

Please hide back in it's spot and help disguise it a bit, thanks and enjoy!

Was a bit worried when we saw the homeless camp but happily didn't see anyone. Hadn’t been found since January but surprisingly it was a quick find and everything was in good shape.

NTM and I woke up early, but not too early to set out on this caching adventure. We hit the trail at about 9:45am and made our way through our list for the day. Roundtrip, about 7.5 miles and we were back at the car before 2pm. Only 2 DNFs made for a pretty successful day before the snow starts up again tonight. Thanks for all of the caches.

Took a while, but made the find. Thanks for the cache.

Mexxcache and I almost had to abandon our quest when we saw the one and only muggle parked at a table near GZ. Decided to hike the circle path and our muggle had moved on by the time we completed the circle. Yay! Got the smilie! TFTC! (#278)
