Geocache Description:


Congrats to louislynn, squeeky_, and mmsm for the FTF!

This cache is part of a small Hodges Pond series. You will need to find two caches (this one and "Dam Bridge") in order to reveal the location of the third, "Dog's Bark." The final mystery cache is completely optional and both other caches can be treated as separate traditional caches. All caches are hidden a short distance off the trail but should not require much disruption to access. Please be mindful while you're searching smiley

Hodges Pond was originally built as a mill pond, but decades of disuse turned it into a shallow, warm, sediment-filled lake with low oxyen and lots of bacteria. When the water flowed into the Thames River, six kilometers downstream, it had the poorest water quality of almost any tributary in the Upper Thames watershed.

In 2015, a re-naturalization project started with the goal of restoring roughly 400 acres of land to its former glory. The old mill dam was removed and now the area sees improved flood reduction and better water quality. In recent years, trails were developed so that the public can now enjoy this healing ecosystem.

You're searching for a small aluminum screw-top canister. It has a logbook and room for some very small items. Bring your own pen and ENJOY!
