Geocache Description:

Camo-colored matchstick holder with log only, bring your own pen.

Finally, a cache that brings together two great series: the ubitiquous T.O.E.P. (Tiny Often Empty Park) series and my Forgotten Rock Wall series. This cache has it all!

Rock walls have been used for thousands of years to delineate property lines. As modern building techniques evolved or property is consolidated throughout the years, their importance decreases and they are abandoned. I always found it interesting when I come across a rock wall where I least expect it: What did the original property look like? Why a boundary here?

This is the ninth in a series highlighting forgotten rock walls that I have come across, usually while geocaching. The others are available at the following link:

Listing of Forgotten Rock Wall caches

This wall comes with the bonus of being in the Tiny Often Empty Gov. Livingston Park which is right down the street from the Livingston-Benedict House, the 250 year old house which was the governor's residence during the Revolutionary War. Not sure who actually uses this park but it does have a nice gazebo and rock wall

This cache is part of the “Tiny Often Empty Park Tour”. Please visit the cache that started it all. It’s called "Tiny Often Empty Park (#1): North Brunswick, NJ” (GCR1V3)" to see the latest Tiny Park count and find out how you can add your own “Tiny Often Empty Park” to the tour.”

Congrats to lego manaics and ArubaXpress for the co-FTF!
