Welcome to Ardenwood Historic Farm. This series of caches will offer you a wonderful tour of this park. Your visit will feel as if you have journeyed back to the 1870s. You will see beautiful gardens, orchards, forests, farm animals, peacocks, pullwagons, a Victorian mansion, cooking demos (during special events), a blacksmith shop and more! Adults and children alike will enjoy this place.
Pick up a map at the front desk. You can find all these caches along roads.
Oh yeah, and bring a picnic! Picnic tables abound.

OBJECTIVE
Like the game called Scrabble, the objective is to find six letters and arrange them to form a word. Each letter can be found in one of the cache sites listed below. Once you completed the word, the coordinates to Ardenwood Scrabble will be revealed.
A NOTE ABOUT THE COORDINATES
The coordinates are moody. I tried my best to average them out. I took 3 readings for each cache on rainy and clear days. Oye, what a struggle. So my advice to you is "widen your search."
EACH SCRABBLE PIECE CAN BE FOUND AT THESE CACHES:
Ardenwood: On the Move<---do this one first
Ardenwood: MoooSic
Ardenwood: Lost in Time
Ardenwood: Rows of Nuts
Ardenwood: Baba Yaga
Ardenwood: Spirits of the Forest
