Geocache Description:

Few people know about Sanford Farm’s West Gate Forest. The cache is hidden a quarter mile from the parking lot. It’s hard to say which is more beautiful, the drive there, or the walk to the cache. 


Welcome to the Sanford Farm Ram Pasture west gate, bird watchers, I hope you brought your binoculars and camera! 

As you head down the main path you may notice a path that goes left and a path that goes right. Both are scenic loops that reconnect to the main path’s loop. One leads you through a forest and one leads you along a pond. 

After you find the cache continue exploring these paths, you wont regret it. The main path leads to the Ram’s Head’s Ocean Walk loop, with stunning sweeping views of distant plains, forests, ponds, and the ocean. Interpretive signage along the route offer information about the area to the public, and a little something extra for experienced Modern geocachers. 

The dirt and mowed grass path can be traversed by strollers with large wheels. The area is popular with joggers and dog walkers.
