Haley Farm Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CTReviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
CTReviewer

Geocache Description:

Parking can be found at the lot on Haley Farm Rd (Rt. 215S, right on Brook St, street is on right). Trails are wide and plentiful, providing plenty of opportunities for exploration.

Haley Farm is a beautiful, sprawling CT State Park. There is a 0.8 mile bike trail and numerous hiking trails that take you through a scenic old shoreline farm. Take your time meandering to the cache - there's lots to see, including old foundations, graveyards, and literally hundreds of small, side trails leading to streams, ponds, and marshes. There's a side trail that connects to Bluff Point, for anyone up for a longer hike.

There are lots of ways to get to the cache, so take your pick of several choices - I think they all run into each other eventually. There's plenty of stone walls, streams, and puddles to pass, including one "Do I really have to?" spot at N41°19.658' W072°00.700' (the answer is yes, you really have to). The cache is a ammo box, filled with some toys and prizes, hidden in the usual fashion.

Enjoy!
