The Gilfillan farm was established by Alexander Gilfillan in the 1760s. His family was one of the first to settle in the area. His grandson, John II, built the current farm complex from 1857 to 1868. The last building, the barn, was built in a community barn raising. In 1976 the family sold the surrounding acreage to the township, which have since been developed as a park with a 1.25-mile (2.01 km) walking trail. In order to locate this letterbox, you will have to walk the trail.
The trail is mostly a wood-chip trail, but there are grass parts as well as hard packed dirt parts. While walking around the trail, be sure to search for the other caches that are located here
Parking is located at Westminster Church along Orr Road. You can park here and then cross Orr Road to start on the trail. Depending on if you are finding other caches, the direction to walk on the trail is your choice.
Once you arrive at the posted coordinates, you will find (while your feet are on the ground) a larger micro container with the coordinates to a final location if you so choose to use them. There should be no need to remove the container from its hide to read the coordinates. If you do remove the container, please place back securely so that the coordinates can be read. If you don't feel like looking for the coordinates or don't really feel like entering them into your device, you don't have to!! I have included instructions as to how to locate the final. To follow these instructions, you must be standing at the posted coordinates.
FROM WHERE YOU STAND SEARCH FOR A BENCH UP ON A HILL.
WALK TO SAID BENCH ALONG THE GRASSY PATH.
CONTINUE ON THE PATH, ABOUT 20 FEET.
TURN TO THE LEFT AND WALK DOWN THE 'TRAIL'.
WALK UNTIL YOU ARRIVE AT THE BIG TREE.
HERE YOU WILL LOCATE THE CACHE, ALTHOUGH,
TO STAMP THE LOG, YOU WILL HAVE TO RETRIEVE THE CACHE!
IT IS UP THERE!
Be sure to bring along an inkpad and your personal stamp. There is a stamp in the cache that should stay in the cache! Hope you like it!
