The Delaware Geocaching Trail will take you on an adventurous
journey throughout the great State of Delaware. Our trail will
excite you with all of the historical, agricultural, cultural and
adventurous treasures hidden in Delaware’s three counties. As
you proceed on your venture, you will witness the beautiful
estates, gardens and sanctuaries that envelope this great state.
You will admire the early 1800s architecture of the churches and
homes in New Castle County. You will learn about the early Indian
tribes that settled along the rivers and bays in Sussex County.
While exploring Kent County, you will also be in touch with the
defenders of our State and country. The Trail will take you on a
voyage through Delaware’s beautiful State Parks and a few
special surprise locations that you may have never seen! Enjoy your
quest!

On the maps it is called N VanBuren Street, but everybody calls this "Monkey Hill" the one remaining cobblestone street in Delaware that goes past the Monkey House of Brandywine Zoo. Either before or after finding the cache, you need to drive on Monkey Hill to experience a cobblestone street!
The cache is located close to the stone Monkey Hill pavillion (1933 WPA projest)and the Zoo Education Building. It is on the property of the Brandywine Zoo which is part of the state park system. Due to heavy muggle traffic and limited hiding places that cache is a large size pill bottle--there is no big blue ammo box here.
There are no fees for Brandywine park. Small fee for Brandywine Zoo.
The Delaware Geotrail would like to thank Brandywine Park and Brandywine Zoo, both part of the state park system for participating in the trail and MikeOtt for placing this cache.
