BB and I went out today to do some errands and go for a walk to find Back To Basics -- Get Mello.
The cache is located on Marlborough's Cider Knoll / Mello Family Meadow conservation land. I'd tried this on some while back but there was a lot of snow on the ground and I didn't have skis. Today there was much less so we decided to explore this lovely area. There's good plowed parking at N42° 22.126, W71° 31.012 per the cache description. There is probably much faster access from the other marked Stow Rd trailhead with parking along the road or perhaps on Dean Rd at Stow Rd. Since we were interested in the walk we parked in the lot and hiked in.
There is some nice birch forest along the well mark and traveled trails. Along the way at N42° 22.3632' W71° 30.7966' there is an interesting overlook and the remains of something but I've no idea what.
We got to GZ easily just past a disused apple orchard. We had some trouble finding the cache as it was well hidden by the last visitor. Just as we were about to give up I moved a rock and bingo, there it was.
SL/TNLN/TFTC.
From the parking lot this is about a 1.5 mile walk. The cache is definitely NOT snow friendly.
As usual, here are the photos (no spoilers).
