Geocache Description:

This journey is part of a cache series commemorating the travels of Leatherman in the late 1800s.This cache is located in Southington near Sloper pond.

Leatherman once roamed SW Connecticut and SE New York from 1858 to 1889. He traveled a 365-mile loop between the Connecticut and Hudson rivers. Approximately every month he would repeat his journey. The man spoke primarily with grunts or gestures and dressed in crudely stitched leather from his hat to his shoes. The suit was made of soft-tanned calfskin leather and weighed about sixty pounds. He would sleep outside year-round mostly in caves around Connecticut and New York. More information on Leatherman can be found at: (visit link)
Park at the posted coordinates just beyond the old gate if you are coming eastbound on Kensington Road. There is only room for one car. Walk behind the gate and follow the path until it intersects with the green trail. Follow the green trail to the right over the boardwalk until you come to the site. Note that the site is being excavated and that you dont need to disturb it to find the cache. There is an alternative parking spot if you enter Camp Sloper from East street and then follow the green trail to the coordinates.
