I always loved this
farm and thought it was in desparate need of another
geocache,
what better way to introduce some newbies to caching but to hide a
cache in honor of them!
Welcome to "DYLAN'S
BIRTHDAY CACHE" !

Dylan.

The open fields, stone walls and iconic
yellow farm buildings evoke a sense of days gone by. East
Over Reservation provides a rare opportunity to explore a
working farm, managed in harmony with its natural setting.
The surrounding woods shelter vernal pools and amidst the
fields and barns you'll find bobolinks, orioles and chimney
swifts. |

Miles of trails passing
through a mosaic of agricultural fields, successional forests, and
winding hedgerows all surrounded by quarry-stone capped double
walls. |

History |
|
In about 1853 successful New
York businessman Charles H. Leonard began to transform a working
landscape around a gristmill on the Sippican River. The Hiller
family purchased the land in 1910 and cared for it until it was
permanently protected between 2003 and 2005 by a broad coalition,
including The Trustees of Reservations, the Town of Rochester, and
the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural
Resources |
