ABOUT THIS CACHE
When I first hid this cache there used to be group of very old homes here that were supposed to have been refurbished. Unfortunately, they all had to be torn down because they waited too long and the homes just fell apart. The houses were actually part of a project called the "William Patterson Living History Center."
I had called this cache "Baba Yaga" because I expected chicken legs to pop out of the bottom of the houses at any second.
MORE INFO
This cache is one in a series of caches belonging to Ardenwood Scrabble. In this cache and the other caches that comprise this series, you will find a "scrabble piece" inscribed with a letter and a number(s) representing a coordinate. Once you have located all the caches, copied the information down from the scrabble pieces, you will arrange the letters into a secret word. This word will reveal the final location of the grande cache.
