Despite having pretty much lived on these trails as a kid, we didn't spend too much time on the west side of Halsey Manor Rd. I remember it being a little sandier but what really stuck out were he huge anthills beside the trail, which you can still find as you wander along. I can only imagine the underground network they've created and how much it's grown in the last 30 years.
The caches I place around here are my attempt to counteract the recent influx of roadside P&Gs, and get new caches out in nature for folks to find.
