Geocache Description:

This winter friendly cache is placed along the Busby Trail.

The Busby trail is about 1.5 miles long at which point it runs in to Hoosac Range trail at Spruce Hill. The Hoosac Range trail then continues apx 3 more miles to Rt 2

The Busby trail starts out as an old road which once lead the the Busby farm from the early 1800's to the 1930's. You will pass foundations and old stone walls. Near the end where it meets the Hoosac Range trail make the side trip 200' +/- Past another existing cache (not winter friendly) to a great view.

These caches should all be easy and winter friendly, although a couple are only 2.5-3' high so may be hidden if there is a lot of snow.

For a Topo map of the Hoosac trail visit BNRC at (visit link) and use the search for "hoosac range" ( their map link does not have the Hoosac range so you need to use the search)

I left a couple Path Tags in random locations
