What's a Glebe?

Etymology: 1302, from O.Fr. glebe, from L. gleba "clod, lump," from PIE *glebh- "to roll into a ball" (a dinoball, maybe?) (cf. L. globus "sphere," O.E. clyppan "to embrace"). Earliest Eng. sense is "land forming a clergyman's benefice," on notion of soil of the earth as source of vegetable products.

From Wikipedia:
In the American colonies of Great Britain where the Church of England was the established religion, glebe land was distributed by the colonial government, and was often farmed or rented out by the church rector to cover living expenses. This practice was no longer observed following the disestablishment of state churches that accompanied the American Revolution. The many roads in the eastern United States and other former British colonial possessions that bear this name once ran past a church glebe property.

Seems to fit.
You must remember the first commandment of dino-caching: "Thou Shalt Not Put False Caches Before Me."

PS: If you start from the parking coords it's mostly a clear path. Short and quick either way.
