Hayfield #12 Traditional Cache

The Hayfield caches are a series of caches along a lightly trafficked country road.  Although one could drive close to the caches, it is highly recommended that  you take this opportunity to have a pleasant hike.  A car could be left at each end of the series, i.e. Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus and Lake Lehman High School, if you do not want to retrace your steps.

The road derives its name from the Hayfield Farm and the lavish house built on the property.   Hayfield House was built in 1933 as a summer home by the Conyngham family during the Great Depression at a cost of over $1 million.  Mrs. Conyngham's dressing room was allegedly modeled after the boudoir of Marie Antoinette at the Palace of Versailles and features uniquely curved doors, making the room a perfect oval; the fireplace and mantle were imported from a castle in Europe.
