Geocache Description:

A multi that will take you to a forgotten place. This forest is full of old cart roads & stone walls from another time. While exploring I was amazed that I could not find any foundations or cellar holes, but there is rock, water, a primitive cemetery & wildlife. Doubt if you will encounter another soul on your search.


The Nature Conservancy owns this land but has decided to leave it undeveloped.Hunting is not allowed on this property but never hurts to have orange in season. This multi cache will take you along ancient cart roads that you will need a keen eye to follow, lots of blowdowns that you must go round to continue along the way.Coverage can be spotty so we have provided hints but recommend a good GPS'r, if using a phone be patient cause you will probably drop signal in places. Red dot will be the blaze you must look for. All stages & final will start with the same common numbers N41 54 & W71 26, some stages will only supply the last 3 digits. After finding S1 you will come upon a fallow field, follow the single track trail west to a wide cart road, look for the Nature Conservancy trail marker, trailhead coords have been supplied. The road you must follow will include a few water crossings, just small streams. All stages are not far from the cart roads so no need for bushwhacking unless you enjoy this kinda thing. Hint for final at S5. Parking is a small dirt road next to a golf course, please do not use their parking lot.Enjoy!
