Welcome to Chester! This is one of six caches that will take you on a tour of Chester.
Welcome to a tour of Chester! The complete tour can be done by car or bike, but the most enjoyable way to get all six caches is to walk. If you do the caches in order, the Tour is a 3.5 mile loop and should take you about a hour and a half. The walk is split about 50-50 between sidewalks and town roads. The traffic on the town roads usually isn't too heavy, but please be careful and make sure you walk on the left facing the on-coming traffic. At one point you will be required to walk for about 50 yards along Rte. 148, which can be busy and the traffic tends to go faster. Please be very careful along that stretch of the Tour.
In addition to its historical connections, Jennings Pond was featured in the movie "It Happened to Jane". In the movie, it was depicted as a cove in Maine that Doris Day's character lived on. Nowadays, it's best known as an ice skating and hockey pond. Please bring your own pen.
If you left your car in the Municipal Parking Lot, you can get back to it by continuing on down Spring Street to Ostling Lane. Go up Ostling Lane to the stop sign at the top of the hill. Turn left onto Prospect Street, when you get to the stop sign at the bottom of the hill, take another left and you will eventually come to the Parking Lot. If you want to return to the Center from this cache, continue on down Spring Street but do not turn onto Ostling Lane. Spring Street will take you right into the center. On the way, you'll pass The Recycle House, which was recently featured in a Hartford Courant article.
