This cache is part
of the
Vermont 251 Plus 4 Geocaching club, an
attempt to bring caches to each and every town, city and gore in
the state of Vermont!
A cache for those who wish to
visit Belvidere without hiking a mountain.
One of several Vermont parcels granted to
New York City lawyer John Kelly, spelled Belvedere in the grant.
Kelly was a land speculator on a grand scale, but more popular than
many of his New York counterparts. After the Revolution, he worked
closely with William Johnson (for whom Johnson is named) in the
effort to get Vermont admitted to the Union.
Kelly, being quite Irish, is believed to
have named this town for Lake Belvedere, one of the most beautiful
bodies of water in Ireland. The word itself is a translation from
Italian for "beautiful view"; in Kelly's time, as now, the word was
also a common noun for a small or open summer house from which to
enjoy the scenery.
Cache is larger than a micro . . . smaller
than a small. BYOP No room for any trade items.
