Mitchell Farm Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

gpicard: A sad thing but it has to be done. This used to be a nice spot to pick raspberries and listen to my Mom talk about visiting her grandmother here in years past.

It takes a while for logging areas to get back to nature but this one seems especially messy. Any areas I had hoped to place the replacement cache are just too full of debris.

Maybe some day...

Geocache Description:

The Mitchell Farm is located on Lohnes (not L Hones") Road, which we always called "the road around the pond".

This road can be VERY ROUGH. Go slow and watch for the rocks growing in the road. They must be growing because they keep getting taller every year until they are harvested!

You should not attempt this cache in early spring(mud season) or late fall (after snow) unless you are comfortable with your vehicles ability to get out of any mess you get into! The road is also used by ATVs or snowmobiles based on the season.

I don't know the exact history of the farm and it was abandoned and torn down before I was born. My mother used to tell us about visiting relatives here when she was younger. We used to pick raspberries before the foundation was filled in and the area was used as a logyard.

There are some pictures somewhere of the farm and I will add some to the listing as I find them. Many of the Mitchells, my great-great.. relatives who lived here, are buried in the Pressy cemetery where GCZK0X - knocking on heaven's door is located.

Watch out for ATVs on the road and bring gallons of bug repellant!
