Burns Memorial Park Traditional Cache

Burns Memorial Park is a little known piece of conservation land located between residential neighborhoods in Hingham, MA.

The only access is a narrow right-of-way between two residential properties on Hersey Street.  Once behind the properties, a large sign identifies the Park.
At that point, the trail appears to go nowhere.  Residents have dumped their grass clippings and other green refuse in the area; a little detour is necessary to re-acquire the original trail (see waypoint)

The old roadway continues downhill to a bridge over a brook.  Beyond this, the area was apparently used as a dump.  There are mounds of coal ash, and various old bottles and rusted porcelain pots.  In this poor soil, the poison ivy does quite well.  the cache is hidden in a clean area.
