Geocache Description:

Located off an equestrian trail in a forest preserve. About 100 feet from the trail in a small ravine.

This cache is located within a beautiful forest reserve however you might be surprised where you end up. The cache itself is hidden in a small ravine just off the trail which apparently served as a dumping ground back in the 1930's/40's. I wouldn't recommend trying to cache in-trash out here. :)

The ravine has an errie/ghostly feel to it which makes it perfect with halloween approaching.

As you near the ravine you'll discover the Fenders and panels to some old model T Fords and other relics from the past justting up from the ground. Interesting site. Lot's of old wash tubs, milk cans, a discarded safe/vault and other rusting metal items.

EDIT/UPDATE: This was one of the first caches I placed. Looking back I gave entirely too many clues. I decided to remove some of the clues and make it more challenging. Don't look at the PHOTOS posted here unless you need help -- they pretty much give away the hiding spot.
