Rock walls have been used for thousands of years to delineate property lines. As modern building techniques evolved or property is consolidated throughout the years, their importance decreases and they are abandoned. I always found it interesting when I come across a rock wall where I least expect it: What did the original property look like? Why a boundary here?
This is the sixth in a series highlighting forgotten rock walls that I have come across, usually while geocaching. The others are available at the following link:
Listing of Forgotten Rock Wall caches
This cache was originally named Morris Fomalhaut Farewell and referred to the hider's company that was moving from the complex. If you're on Route 80 going past the Rt. 202 exit you might want to give this a try. Be warned that it was placed in an area with several rock piles, dead tree stumps and fallen (hollowed out) trees. Both the original hider and myself enjoyed hiking on these trails over lunch or during an impromptu talk with a co-worker. You can park legally within 200 feet of the cache but you might want to take a stroll and unwind.
NOTE: No rocks need to be removed to access the cache
