Geocache Description:

While making this cache I spent a lot of time thinking about all the family and friends who have gone to Heaven.  This cache was made, with love, in their memory.  The beautiful rocks and gems used to make the "stained glass windows" were ones given to us by one such friend who lost his battle with cancer.  Perhaps when you find this cache you can send up a little prayer for someone you love and miss who is up there watching over you.  

Bessie Richardson Bowcock willed this 258 acre forest as a bird and game sanctuary and nature trail. The natural area was dedicated to the memory of Robert Emmet and Julia Wickham Harrison Richardson by their daughter. Mrs. Bowcock hoped that Crawford’s tract would serve as an eternal connection between her late parents and the residents both present and future of New Kent County. The Virginia Department of Forestry oversees this property. Crawford’s Forest is composed primarily of loblolly pines and mixed hardwoods. There are very old and very large bald cypress and tupelo on the property that cover the Chickahominy Swamp. American Holly is also very abundant. The property also serves as a habitat for migrant and nesting birds such as American goldfinch, Carolina wren, and Carolina chickadee. Don’t be surprised if a turkey takes flight from it’s roost when you get too close! Crawford’s State Forest is open daily from dawn until dusk. Hunting is PROHIBITED as is camping and any motorized vehicles. There is a small grassy parking area which is the only entrance to the property. ***WARNING*** Although hunting is absolutely prohibited, please make yourself visible and heard as you move through the forest during hunting season.
