Rock walls have been used for thousands of years to delineate property lines. As modern building techniques evolved or property is consolidated throughout the years, their importance decreases and they are abandoned. I always found it interesting when I come across a rock wall where I least expect it: What did the original property look like? Why a boundary here?
This is the first in a planned series highlighting forgotten rock walls that I have come across, usually while geocaching. The others are available at the following link:
Listing of Forgotten Rock Wall caches
This particular one is in James Andrews Memorial Park, now park of the Randolph Trails system. This one appears to have been around a garden and is probably one of the longest ones that you wil come across. It is easily accessed from W. Hanover Ave. (watch out with small children) by parking by the trailhead and walking a few hundred feet on the shoulder to the wall. Some light bushwhacking is required to get to the cache.Please snap lid closed in all corners to keep water out!
NOTE: The cache does not reside on the wall, do not disturb it.
Congratulations on Al aka BigA800 on another FTF!
