Geocache Description:

Silver film can with log only. Bring your own pen.


The cache is named for Frederick Law Olmsted, who said of this park area: "the locality is at present very attractive, including as it does, Ward's Pond with its verdure-clad, precipitous banks, a steep wooded hill, several groves and two meadows . . ."

Given the inherent beauty of the land, Olmsted made minor changes to it, compared to what was done in the Fens and Riverway. Here he wanted to reveal the natural features to us. To do this, he designed pathways and planting patterns that would create a series of dramatic vistas that unfold the shapes, proportions and relationships of the landforms before us.

This cache is stroller accessible- no need to bush whack.

7/20/14 Update: That didn't last very long. I went back to the old style hide (I do wonder where the fake rock went). Let's see how this one does.

3/27/14 Update: Changed cache container and location a little bit. I have updated the cache page accordingly. Let's see if this lasts a little longer this time.
