Golem Cave

^{For the past four months we have been spending time in the libraries and archives in preparation for our expedition. In that time, we amassed a list 103 different inscriptions and petroglyphs in stone across the northeast. Some of these are what I would refer to as historic graffiti. The most interesting inscriptions we uncovered have been the center of a debate of going back to the late 1600s.}

^{Though our research will continue, we though it would be best to begin hunting down these written rocks. Our first for this season was hidden in an unusual cave along a hillside in Hardwick MA. There we learned we could find the inscriptions form the late 1800s.}
