Geocache Description:

North on Elm Street/Ingham Hill road, turn right at Mill Rock Rd West north of I-95, immediate left on Merritt Lane, and a right after the fish ladder. Round trip to cache and back is 1.4 miles on well-marked trails. Trail maps are available at the Old Saybrook Parks & Recreation web page, http://www.oldsaybrookct.org/Pages/OldSaybrookCT_Recreation/index Open dawn to dusk. Parking for several vehicles (coordinates provided).

Welcome to the east side of Great Cedars Conservation Area. This 320 acre tract, formerly known as the Gleason Property, was successfully protected by the Old Saybrook Land Trust and the town in 1999. It is significant for its size and unique biological features. I have long wanted to place a cache in this area so here it is, and there is room for more.

You will be looking for a small plastic container. Estimated accuracy was 12 feet. Contents included hand sanitizer, ballpoint pens, superglue, waterproof matchstick container, a 3 outlet wall tap, and AA batteries. For you letterboxers, I discovered one nearby while searching for a cache location. Enjoy the hike!
