David Storrs Chapin Coney Rock Preserve, 134 acres in Mansfield, is
part of the Joshua's Land Trust. David Storrs Chapin donated it in
2003, adjacent to land bought by the town. Joshua's Land Trust
graciously gave us permission to hide these caches on their
property. It is a gem of an area with stone walls and rock
formations. The blazed trails are somewhat rocky and curvaceous,
and at times there will be moderate ups and downs. Some areas could
be muddy during certain times of year and there is one easy stream
crossing.
