Chester Farm box @ Haley Farm, Groton

Hi. My family visited this box today and found it in the open instead of under the rocks. The box is damaged and the notebooks are water-logged and not usable. Sorry to see this. The stamp is lovely and the walk to the cemetery was wonderful.

Was that the two-part Haley Farm box? I'll be heading that way tomorrow, and I've been trying to find this message for days!

It is the box that is near the tiny cemetery. I hope it is still there. We haven't done the other boxes at Haley Farm. Waiting for cooler weather. Enjoy your trip out there.

I found the tiny cemetery and the remains of the box. It was under the rocks, but far from intact. There was a snail living in it! The logbook was rotting and the stamp was in two pieces :-( I did not find the second box in the series--after a lengthy search, I found a geocache where I think the box was supposed to be. Other Haley boxes were in place--one that also contained a soaking wet logbook, and one in excellent shape.

Yep, the one we found was pretty gooey. I'm glad you could get out there. We will do the Haley Farm search again one of these days. The mosquitoes drove us out last time. Should be a great place to do some migratory bird watching soon.
