Ready for another Big Thicket workout? If you enjoyed "Woodlands Wonderland" or "How Bad Have You Got It," you’ll really love this one – and vice versa.
Prepare for a four-stage adventure. You’ll traverse roughly 4.5 miles roundtrip, crossing two major waterways (Village Creek and Turkey Creek) while following three distinct routes: the Kirby Nature Trail, the Turkey Creek Trail, and the Sandhill Loop.
The first three stages contain coordinates that will allow you to continue. The final stage is a well-stocked ammo can with the following initial contents:
Audio CDs
NASCAR Action Figures
Precision Screwdriver Set
Combination Master Lock
Camp Utensil Set
Dual Powered Calculator
Pocket Pliers Multifunction Tool
Travel Alarm Clock
NASCAR Playing Cards
Insect Repellent Towelettes
Disposable Handwarmer
Play-Doh
8-Pack AA Batteries
Clip-on Flexible Light
Magnetic Key Holder
Miracle Bubbles
NASCAR Terry Labonte Diecast Car
Xbox Demo Games
Children’s Jacks
Carabiner LED Flashlight
Log Book, Pen and Pencil
Parking for the trailhead is along FM-420, 2.6 miles east of US-69 (N 30° 27.720 W 094° 21.063). You can usually find maps at the trailhead, but to be safe you may want to stop at the Visitor Center near the US-69/FM-420 intersection. Ask for Kirby Nature Trail, Turkey Creek Trail, and Sandhill Loop maps. You might also pick up the full-color “Big Thicket Official Map and Guide.” It’ll come in handy for the many caches in this spectacular area.
This is not a park and grab; allow three or four hours to find all four stages while enjoying the scenery. If you have time, stop by “Turkey Creek South” on the way in, and Mudfrog and Chicken’s excellent “Gobble-Gobble” on the way out.
