The location of this cache is a long overlooked section of the park, but likely to be soon full of foot-traffic & bikes during the summer, and cross-country skiers & snowshoes during the winter as it becomes discovered. This is a new section of trail that was added in the summer of '16 to serve as a connector from the existing Marl Lake trail loops to the Markey Memorial Park.

It's a workout-worthy steep hike up what is a ~12,000 year old stoney glacial morraine hillside from "Checkpoint #7" of the Marl Lake trail. To add interest to the second-growth hardwood forest, this is also part of the rear property area of a very old orchard farm dating from the 1880's.
