Wesley Hill Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

medicineman: According to the administrators for the preserve geocaching is no longer a permitted activity. In my opinion, a totally shortsighted viewpoint that smacks of people who have plastic on their living room furniture.

The preserve is nice, but it isn't Yosemite and it's not an endangered wildlife area. The native deer cause more wear and tear on the land than the 'damage' caused by the 40 some odd geocachers over the last 2-3 years.

Geocachers are typically the most respectful people who often take trash out of pristine areas.

So, for you preserve administrators, go back to your plastic sofas.

Geocache Description:

Located in the Wesley Hill tract managed by the Finger Lakes Land Trust. Fairly easy hiking on well marked trails.

Over 100 years ago, after the Frosttown sawmills of the Bristol Hills fell silent, white pine, hemlock and oak seedlings began to sprout along the northern rim of Briggs Gully, one of the Finger Lakes Region's largest gorges. These young trees were tall and strong and in 1926 when three artists-John C. Wenrich, James Havens, and Colburn Dugan- bought this 90-acre piece of paradise as a place for peace, quiet, and contemplation. Today the hemlocks rise from shady depths of the gullies, the white pines and red pines soar above the younger maples, and the majestic oaks spread their wide branches over quiet groves. Except for the maturing of the trees, little has changed since the 1920's. In addition to the immense Briggs Gully, some of which forms the southern boundary, several other gullies wind through the preserve. Diverse stands of mature forest, a wide array of wildflowers, and sweeping views of the hills surrounding Honeoye Lake's southern end make this site truly special.

Cache is a 30mm ammo can with a variety of prizes
