Finally discovered the other side of Blackall Preserve. I thought there were just a few trails over on this side but there are quite a few. Great mapping by the Cumberland Land Trust. Red/Green/Blue/White trails all very well marked. Nice trails, great for hiking and snowshoeing.
Please wear your orange as I saw quite a few deer stands.
The cache itself is small and tucked into yes the downed tree. Winter friendly up to about 5'.
Just a bit of info I found about the property: CUMBERLAND – The Cumberland Land Trust added a 52-acre tract of land to its inventory in March thanks to a donation by the Seminole Development LLC. Open now to area residents, the land is described as “pristine woods with a rolling topography and walking trails connecting to existing 150-acres of town-owned open space that includes the Blackall Family Preserve on Old West Wrentham Road.” There are 3 miles of hiking trails crossing this wilderness area nestled between the Highland Corporate Park and rural West Wrentham Road in Cumberland Hill. The total tract has three ponds, a year-round flowing stream, wetlands, and vernal pools. Also featured are many miles of old farm stone walls. The link to existing open space lands, as well as the property’s intrinsic beauty, make this donation especially valuable to residents of the Cumberland area.
Congrats to GEOteam0105 for FTF!
