BA007 - 671 Warren Ave, Swansea, MA
Directions:
These boxes can be found in any order. This is my recommended route.
Start at BA001, Tayler Point Road is south of rt114 between the bridges.
Head west on County rd. Turn left on Rumstick rd then right on Nayatt rd. BA002 is on the left after Water way.
Continue west on Nayatt, then turn right on Middle Hwy. Look for the small street Brick Pond dr on right. BA004 is at the end.
Continue north on Middle Hwy, pass Maple ave then turn right onto Upland way. Enter BA005 at the second driveway.
Turn south onto Barrington ave then left (east) onto Maple Ave. follow to the end and cross the lights into the town hall parking lot. Park at the far back left corner. This is the south end of BA003.
CLUES:
BA001 TYLER POINT CEMETERY:
Find the tree in the center of the cemetery with a small boulder next to it. The letterbox is between the tree and the rock covered in pine needles. Please rehide well as there's also a Geocache in this tree.
BA002 FOREST CHAPEL CEMETERY:
Enter the cemetery from Nayatt rd. Follow up the hill and turn right at Crowell. Follow around the corner then right at the fork. Just before he exit look right. The box is in a 3-trunk tree about 10 steps from the cornerstone of the walls.
BA003 PRINCE'S HILL BURIAL GROUND:
Look for the large memorial to Leander Remincton Peck.
Follow the road around behind this building until you find Winterbottom. While standing at this stone, turn left and walk 15 steps to a maple. The box with the logbook is in the small stump next to this tree buried under sticks, rocks, and leaves.
BA004 MATTHEW WATSON CEMETERY:
Please be very discreet! From the sign, walk behind the multi-trunk tree to a double stump.
The box is in the taller stump. Enter the cemetery and find the stone of Matthew Watson. He was "born in the seventeenth, living through the eighteenth, and died in the nineteenth century"!
BA005 ST MARIE DELCOMPO CEMETERY:
Enter at the gate closest to the stop sign. Turn right at Andreozzi, then pass Gasbarro on the left. Stop just before exiting. Walk along the bushes to the right until you reach the second tall tree. The box is in the notch where several branches split, around eye level.
BA006 ALLIN BURIAL GROUND:
From the Historic Cemetery sign, the box is hidden between the stone fence post and the large cedar tree. Please rehide well as there's a Geocache nearby.
BA007 KNOCKUM HILL CEMETERY:
Park on the side of the road next to #671 Warren ave, swansea, MA. There's two yellow posts with a chain across. This is the only land access to the cemetery.
Follow the grass driveway past the house on the left and under the powerlines. The cemetery is between the powerlines and the water.
Clue:
Stand a few feet in front of the sign. Look slightly left, there are two hollow stumps a few steps away. BA007 is hidden in the larger stump covered with bark.
