Geocache Description:


Hounds come in many different shapes and sizes, both large and small. Many types of hounds are good family dogs and excellent around kids. They’re also fairly low-maintenance as far as grooming and other care.

Because of their strong nose, hounds can be helpful dogs to have around on a ranch or a farm, and they’re also very intelligent. We placed this cache during a Geocaching 101 educational program by the Colchester Land Trust at the Bulkeley Hill Preserve in honor of Percy, a hound/retriever mix owned by two of our attendees, Susie & Charley. This cache has been placed with permission of the Colchester Land Trust and may not be findable in more than 6 inches of snow. Once you've found the cache, be sure to hike another 500 feet or so to the end of the trail to see the beaver pond!

Congratulations to Bobclimber for FTF!
