The theme for this year's series is Animals.
The animal highlighted in Wolcott Mills Metropark is the Percheron.

What animal may have worn armor and participated in wars of old? Poise and elegance could be used to describe this animal. Gentle as a lamb....but not one. Brought from France to the United States in the early 19th century and the favorite of teamsters. I am normally Gray or Black in color. You would describe my height in hands. I weigh between 2000 and 2700 pounds. I can till a field, pull a wagon, or anything else you need moved. I am a Draft Horse, or Work horse. I am a Percheron.

The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged to reduce impact on the environment. Please park at the coordinates shown in the Waypoint table and start your walk at the Trailhead coordinates.
