MCC - Mendelssohn Choir of Connecticut

RSOT - Right side of trail

There's no need to dismantle any part of the wall.

This was apparently part of the base for an old roadbed that ran along the pond - probably the original Rt 7.


NOTE THAT ALL 25 GEOCACHES IN THE IVES TRAIL SERIES WILL BE RETIRED AS SOON AS THE HIDER CAN DO SO AFTER JAN 1, 2020. GENERAL BACKGROUND: The Ives Trail Greenway is a regional trail that links open spaces in Bethel, Danbury, Redding and Ridgefield. The trail extends twenty miles, from Redding Open Space to Terre Haute in Bethel, northwest to Rogers Park in Danbury, past the Charles Ives Homestead, and then south thru Tarrywile Park. It then continues southwest across Route 7 and through Wooster Mountain State Park to Ridgefield's Pine Mountain Open Space and Bennetts Pond State Park. The Ives Trail is named in honor of Charles Ives who was born in Danbury in 1874. Ives blended classical music with Americana to create a new style of music and is noted for his original classical compositions, winning the Pulitzer prize in 1947 for his Symphony #3. Ives is Connecticut's state composer. The trail visits his birthplace home and a mountain retreat area where he often composed.
