Located in the Franklin Fels Memorial Sanctuary in North Salem, NY.
Cache is a camouflaged medium-sized lock-n-lock.
After relocating
Franklin's Tower, I added another cache to encourage
visitation.
This scenic stretch of land in northern Westchester is convenient
to those in NY and CT. It is owned by the Bedford Audubon
Society. Trail
maps are available on their website. Park at
PK on Lake View Road. There is no sign. But you will see a
white blaze on a tree at the trail head. Step back into a land
before time. The trails are a little rough for the first 0.1 miles.
Follow the white trail, through a marsh, over a bridge, and into
the main preserve. The cache is a camouflaged medium-sized
lock-n-lock, located very close to the trail, so stick to them.
As for the name: it's a song and from an item found while hiking
the preserve, which helps to mark the spot.
I'll tell you where the four winds dwell
In Franklin's
Tower there hangs a bell
It can ring, turn night to day;
It can ring like fire when you lose your way.
Roll away the dew.
-- The
Grateful Dead
