#1 in a series of discontinued, abandoned, or long forgotten roads within Townsend.
Townsend has a few roads that over the course of time have been abandoned, discontinued, or maintenance has stopped on them.
Blood Road originally stretched from near the center of town off of Worcester Road, all the way up to Elm Street in West Townsend and was named after Birney Blood, a Civil War veteran who was thought to be penniless up until the time of his death, but he left a huge sum of money to the town for the erection of a memorial statue to be placed on the Town Common.
Townsend ends it parade each Memorial Day at that statue, where a Girl Scout then reads the poem "In Flander's Field", and a Boy Scout recites the Gettysburg Address.
In the 1800s people from all over the eastern seaboard would visit an "Indian Spring" located off of Blood Road because it was said to have miraculous healing powers, and supposedly on more than several occasions "things of a spiritual nature" were said to have happened there.
Besides the healings; appearances of long passed friends, relatives, and Native American medicine men who often spoke to visitors with advice and warnings.
Even today, people who have hiked through that part of the woods in Townsend claim to have seen shadowy and fleeting figures in the woods who seem to melt away into the dense forest without making a single sound.
Enjoy your search for this cache...and if you have any difficulty finding it - just ask anyone you may meet on the trail - that is if they are really there.
...hhhmmm - sounds like another road lost to time, memory, and the elements.
Happy 'Caching!
