Geocache Description:


It is late fall as I place this letterbox, but by June I expect that there will be many dragonflies dancing around this pond. Take some time to try and spot some. I welcome people putting pictures of the dragonflies they spotted in their logs

My thanks to Greenfield Development Corporation for preserving the many wetlands on their Lancaster property.

There is parking across the street from the pond very near the cache. Don't park on the road. You actually could come here 24/7 but I think it is probably better to not be here before or after dark.

Beyond the pond is a wooded area that is "fenced" by wineberry brambles. The bushes are very close together, but there is a small opening a few feet south of the cache's hiding spot where you can enter and not get scratched. Once inside the wooded area, there are no brambles because  the wineberries are sunshine lovers. If you come to harvest the berries, come between late June and early July. They are healthy, very juicy, and delicious.  

The letter box is in a multi-trunk bush.  Please stamp the log with your own stamp, or just sign it as usual. Use the dragonfly stamp in the letterbox to stamp your personal log book. There is an ink in the letter box to do that.  Please do not take the stamp or ink pad. They are NOT trade items.

One note on a "logbook":  I keep a log book of the letterboxes that I find. I stamp a little blank book with the stamp and ink in the letterbox and then write a sentence or two about the location or hike. Some people do, some don't. Up to you.
