This journey is part of a cache series commemorating the travels of
Leatherman in the late 1800s. This cache is located in Berlin near
Norton pond.
Leatherman once roamed SW Connecticut and SE New York from 1858 to
1889. He traveled a 365-mile loop between the Connecticut and
Hudson rivers. Approximately every month he would repeat his
journey. The man spoke primarily with grunts or gestures and
dressed in crudely stitched leather from his hat to his shoes. The
suit was made of soft-tanned calfskin leather and weighed about
sixty pounds. He would sleep outside year-round mostly in caves
around Connecticut and New York. More information on Leatherman can
be found at:

Park at the posted coordinates on 4 Rod Road. The trail head is
about 20 feet south of the telephone pole. Follow the trail around
the pond. There is one part where it looks like the trail heads
uphill but follow it eastbound around the pond (there are orange
flags marking the trail). The cache is a small ammo box.
