MAKE SURE CORRECT LOG IS SIGNED! I WILL BE CHECKING AND DELETING ONES THAT DIDNT.
I have placed a couple other caches in the area and have heard rumbles from the natives about them being too small and/or description being to vauge....So, I decided to place this one in an effort to appease them. :) Cache should be spotted without a problem. Hidden between two rocks a short distance from the road. Please do not add another log to the cache...and PLEASE put container back the way you found it!! This is a hunting area and everyone should make sure to wear Blaze Orange during hunting season! Cache is located close to a trail that runs along one edge of the state forest. Paugnut State Forest is part of a 2,410 acre, contiguous park and forest complex that includes Burr Pond State Park and Sunny Brook State Park. The complex is primarily in north-central Torrington but reaches north into Winchester as well. Paugnut’s woodlands are made up of mixed hardwoods with white pine and hemlock found on drier and rocky areas. In the mid 1930s and early 1940s, Paugnut was part of the actively forested landscape during the years of the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) camps in Connecticut. In 1934 the Connecticut Forestry Department commissioned artist Harry Leith-Ross to document the work of the CCCers in the state. At least two of his forest landscape paintings depict work done in Paugnut State Forest during those depression years. The 2.1 mile John Muir Trail traverses Paugnut’s main section and connects Burr Pond and Sunnybrook state parks. Today, Paugnut is part of the Connecticut Forests Letterboxing Series, in which all 32 state forests participate, and in combination with Burr Pond and Sunny Brook state parks, it preserves a wonderful portion of the state’s western woodlands.
