At the posted coordinates, find the cairn marking his achievements in the district. You can still see his green-roofed house “Byethorne”, which is slowly being restored by the present owners, on the opposite side of the road overlooking the small lake. It’s easy to imagine the large family in those early days wandering the estate, shopping at the nearby village or attending church. The family barn has also been restored and can be seen as a stone house on the east side of Daniel Court opposite the rear of “Byethorne” just up the hill. It was for sale with an asking price of $425,000 when this cache was placed.

As usual, please make sure you return the cache to its exact hiding place and ensure that it is not visible to passers by before you leave.
