Geocache Description:

The cache is located in Big Rock Park, an 83-acre hiking park which currently hosts 2 other caches, too (check 'em out). To see a list of all of Pella's parks go to www.cityofpella.com and select the Community Services/Parks link. Click for the map if you want to do a some hiking; there are also 7 map signs posted throughout the park. I'll also upload a photo/map.

Big Rock Park is my second favorite place in the world (traveling is alright, but home is still best). We're really blessed to have a park this size within city limits. It was donated years ago by the Pella Corp. (windows+) founding family. Note the park entrance and parking coordinates and directions below; you can DRIVE TO WITHIN A FEW YARDS of the cache.

The cache container is a gallon jar. NOTE: this park is only open SUNRISE TO SUNSET.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The area's been cleaned up recently so the cache has been moved a little bit; coords updated. Also updated parking coords to avoid fireweed on your way to the cache :) And it's not inside the nearby brambles, either (I wouldn't do that to you).
