Original cache description by Wide Glide:
There are 2 parking areas. nearest to cache and cave is N 42 30.405 W 72 24.581 near the oval, green welcome sign. cache coordinates are the ones listed at beginning. Cave coordinates are N 42 30.392 W 72 24.590.about 75 feet from first parking area heading W on road to second parking area. cave is on side of ridge on right. coordinates for second parking area is N 42 30.357 W 72 24.583. this area is part of 78 acres of forest preserve established by Quaker founders Joe and Teresina Havens as a spiritual sanctuary and place of simplicity, now called Temenos. it has also been used for mineral baths and spa in the past. it is now used for hiking and a trail to a scenic view point and possible rental cabins. I will have to revisit to explore everything here.
10/25 cache has been replaced. I have been going to Temenos for many years as a vendor for services and product that they need to operate. In the original description, it mentioned Joe and Teresina Havens. I personally knew them as a kid and until their passing. Temenos itself is private property. Temenos is a non profit retreat area. They are online for further reading.
