The cache is not located at the posted coordinates so don't go there. It is hidden somewhere in the Topping Farm Conservation Area. Although there are some old woods roads the trail system is currently undeveloped. Wear blaze orange during hunting seasons.
Archaeological excavations in Massachusetts reveal that the earliest human beings arrived here more than 10,000 years ago. At the time of earliest European contact (around 1500 A.D.) tens of thousands of Native Americans made their homes in Massachusetts. They were speakers of a variety of dialects and languages, all of which were part of the Algonquian language family and lived in many communities among which some of the best known were the Massachusett, Wampanoag, Pennacook, Mahican (Stockbridge), Pocumtuck, and Nipmuck. Their settlements and hunting grounds were spread across the entire state from easternmost Cape Cod to the western mountains. Tragically, early European travelers introduced new diseases to which the native people had no natural immunities. The first recorded epidemics began in coastal Massachusetts in 1616 and 1617, and devastated populations by as much as 90%. When the Pilgrims arrived in 1620 they found many areas abandoned. Plimoth plantation itself was established on the site of a depopulated Native American settlement. Source: (visit link)
