This cache started with items related to completing your tax forms, but this is not a theme cache. The cache container is a standard size ammo box. There is a walking trail near the cache location - be stealthy when retrieving and replacing the cache. Terrain is fairly easy, except for the last few feet. Trail will be muddy after a rain.

This park actually spans the border between Dallas and Collin Counties. For a scenic walk, start at the parking area at N 32° 59.225 W 096° 43.135 and cross the foot bridge. Be sure to check out the small waterfall to the north of the cache while you're there. It's a nice place to bring a lunch on your lunch hour.

2006-05-15: Cache replaced with a water-tight 3"x9" metal tube (an MK-72 proximity fuze can). Bring small and/or skinny items to trade. Be careful that you don't cross-thread the cap when you screw it back on.

The original TAXing contents were:

  • Correction Fluid
  • A Pack of #2 Pencils
  • Pencil Sharpeners (4)
  • Neon Colored Erasers
  • A CD of The Beatles' Tax Man
  • Calculators (3)
  • A Roll of RED TAPE
  • Excedrin Migraine Geltabs
  • Various Tax Forms
  • Money (well, not exactly spendable)
