Geocache Description:

Located on the South side of Ironbound Island, this location will give you an easterly view of the Sou’west Rock.

Please note: The island is almost completely private property. Please respect that on your visit. Do not cut across lawns or people's house lots or fields on your visit; stay on the roads, follow the shoreline and beaches, and usually there are old hunting paths just inside the edge of the woods when the shoreline turns into cliffs that meet the forest edge. These caches are present on the condition of respect from visiting cachers. Thankyou.


To find this cache, travel around the West end of the island, starting at the Big Pond and moving around to the Sou’west Rock. Continue walking along the old hunting paths along the shoreline in a easterly direction for approximately another 170m. You will reach a spruce at the edge of the forest, just back a bit from the cliff, with several large winding branches sprouting out about 2 feet above the ground. The cache is a painted tobacco container tucked in these branches. When you have finished, please go back the way you came rather than continuing East to the beach (explanation below).

This cache is a Geocache/Letterbox Hybrid. The main container has a few small trade items and a geocache logbook to sign. It also contains a smaller container, which is the Letterbox. Inside the Letterbox is a separate letterboxing logbook and a self-inking stamp. If you have your own stamp, use it when signing the letterbox log, and use the cache's stamp in your own logbook. Please leave the contents of the Letterbox intact as they are not for trading. For more information on Letterboxing, visit http://Letterboxing.org.

NOTE: When doing this cache, only approach from the western end of the island (via the Big Pond and the Sou’west Rock), and return the same way. Do not continue eastward around the island to the beach at South East Cove, because there is a house almost at the cliff edge right before the beach, and I do not want people going through this person’s front yard or across their house property.
