Geocache Description:


You can park in the back of the "Shoppes at Louviers" on Paper Mill Road for a short easy bushwhack. Its all undeveloped parkland back there that connects to my other new cache and Runfrogs Dam cache, but there are no trails in this section.

About 17-20 years ago my very young daughters liked to come to Mr Jesse's location on Paper Mill Road where he kept a herd of ponys and more for fun than money offered low priced pony rides to the local kids. Sometimes we would bring bags of grass clippings to feed the ponies--usually that got you a free ride! It was here that Erin strung her first series of words together, the highly imformative "Pony poop on brown shoes"

The ponies are long since gone and Mr Jesse's house was abandoned and then torn down. The fenced pony pasture is mostly overgrown now. The pony shed is still standing (barely). For safety reasons, the cache is NOT in the pony shed or within 20 feet of it. This is an interesting area to explore, but be careful, the shed looks like it could fall down anytime

Please hide this very well since there are muggle problems in this area.


UPDATE 11-3-15 Its been almost nine years since this cache was published. Back then the pony shed was not in great shape. Now it is a fallen rubble pile. Looks like sheet metal roof was removes and is in a pile. Half expected the Shoppes of Louviers to have grown and taken over this area.
