Our "problem child", Mojo, ( aka. Psycho Dog ) was a spoiled,
incorrigible mutt who we loved dearly and lost last year, very
suddenly to cancer at 10 years old. He never got to go geocaching
with us, but would have made a great geo-mutt. He loved hiking and
being outdoors more than anything. He particularly loved Chase
Farm. As we'd approach on Breakneck Hill Road, he'd realize where
we were going and could barely contain himself. We knew that this
would be where we would place our first cache, and that it had to
be placed in Mojo's memory. There isn't a trip that we make out
onto the trail without wishing he were with us.
Chase Farm was originally purchased in 1661 by Thomas Arnold. In
the late 1800's it became the Chase family's dairy farm, delivering
dairy products to homes until 1965. The Town of Lincoln then
purchased the property to maintain the historic, open space. Enjoy
all of the beautiful areas of this park. A wonderful place to go
walking, with or without a dog, there are well kept trails, a
scenic pond and a gorgeous butterfly garden. We particularly enjoy
it in the early morning and at sunset. A word of warning to dog
walkers, though you may see many dogs allowed off leash, we have
seen the leash law enforced here and fines imposed.
