Geocache Description:

Magnetic key hider. BYOP.

This cache is to remind the unknowing of the once mighty airfield that lay on this farmland. You can see the old tarmac and footings of the old buildings and hangers.

Back at the main intersection you will see the Gardner Field plaque at the corner of the orchard by the yellow gate. Go check it out.
