How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

All caches are hidden EAST of the path a short distance (or sometimes further :) ).

Note: Once you have the coordinates to Stage Two...

Add 0.005 to the north coordinate and
Subtract 0.025 to the west coordinate

... to find the new cache.

Stage one is just coordinates. Stage two is the old and chewed up 16oz HDPE jar with a test strip container inside. No need to approach the railroad tracks or go on private property for any stage of any cache.

This is a series of caches along the Skokie Valley Bike Path. They are designed to be done while biking (or blading) the trail. Save yourself some extra riding by starting at either #1 or #12 in the series. You can pick up all of the stage-one's in one direction, then get all of the stage-two's in the other direction. Do be warned that while all the caches are very close to the trail, you will be searching in dense brush with thorns! Bike shorts are probably a bad idea.

That Wasn't Me

This was the first year I saw a skunk along this path. He was on the west side of the trail on a small rise. As soon as I spotted him, he spotted me and ducked back down his hole. I'd hate to run over him with my bike!
