Hidden Pond...and an Old Tractor Traditional Cache
OReviewer: Hello,
As there's been no response to my earlier note, I am forced to archive this listing.
If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the near future, just contact me email, including the GC Code, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.
Thanks,

A micro-cache off a rarely used trail at the Celery Farm nature preserve. Room for log only. BYOP. We recommend that you access this cache via the Celery Farm trails, not via the condos on the adjacent property. Far better scenery and no worries about trespassing. This cache is as much about the journey as it is about the find. The parking lot is on Franklin Turnpike, marked with a small sign and map stand. About a 3/4 mile in and 3.4 mile out. Check out the other caches nearby also!
The Celery Farm nature sanctuary is a 107-acre oasis that is home to at least 20 kinds of mammals, at least four species of turtles, green frogs and bull frogs, and 36 species of butterflies. Over 250 species of birds have been sighted here. The combination of wetlands, meadow, lake, and woodlands makes this small spot one of remarkable biodiiversity. Volunteers maintain the area, which is much appreciated by the many who visit here.
We placed this cache to bring more people to a lesser known area of the Celery Farm. It is placed just off a quiet trail near Blue Heron Pond, a small pond that due to its location and tree cover remains undiscovered by many of the people who walk the main trails of the preserve. Enjoy the view of the quiet pond as you approach the cache. You are likely to spook a bullfrog or two, and if you are stealthy, you might spy some of the shyer creatures in the area. When you reach the cache, check out the old tractor engine and parts near (but not at) GZ that remind us that this area used to be a working farm.
There are a lot of hiding spots here. If you spot wildlife along the way, we'd love to hear what you discovered! Also, please add to the gallery. Happy caching! Note that you can't navigate all the way around this pond. You have to backtrack to the main trail.
