This is and old Up Down Sawmill located in Ledyard, Connecticut. Its about 30 miles from me. My buddy lives just down the street from it so I made a visit to him and then to the SawMill to find the cache. Found the cache no problem, not really hidden that well....Beautiful area. Normally this would be working, but the pond has dropped way down as we have not had much rain for this time of year. They run it in the fall till the pond freezes and in the spring until the pond drops. I will get back so you can see the mill working, its really pretty neat... Here is a link that tells all about it and most about this one is at the bottom with pictures of what was left of it and how it works....Up Down Saw Mill I took these for my own enjoyment and to post here......It was only 88 down there so that fell pretty nice after the last 3 days of 100 up our way. Ocean breeze cools it off nice.......
#1 is a shot of mill where water enters from pond....way down now, not enough to run it........
#2 almost same shot with close of millstones scattered all around there.
#3 lower side of mill where all the action goes on.....Really neat to watch them do it.
#4 is mill and pond spillway under bridge....nothing going over it right now.....I liked the shot for the reflection of the mill in pond....
#5 just wanted to show you my buddy Jim's jeep. He is a Blaster...good job in these parts... As you can see from his front license plate
he is proud of it. We have had some good times on some of his jobs.... Many more restrictions now than there use to be.....They
let you drive all over this place as long as your careful....
#6 took this to show you one of the ways they hide the caches. This was under a big white pine tree way away from the mill but on their property.
