This cache is a drive up and park cache. It's easily accessible
although the last foot or two are not wheel chair accessible. It's
not quite micro but is pretty small and won't hold much more than
tiny items and the log.
In 1855, Samuel S. Bayliss, owner of the Missouri River Ferryboat
system and a dedicated civic leader, initiated the city's park
system with a gift to Council Bluffs of 2.15 acres in the heart of
the young town. Bayliss had purchased a total of 200 acres from
Henry Miller, a Mormon leader who held Squatters Rights. The parcel
was a grassy expanse dotted with many young trees. The area soon
became known as the public square and was appropriately named
Bayliss Park. Since 1853, Bayliss Park has been the centerpiece of
Council Bluffs. Host to concerts, festivals, picnics, family
reunions, weddings and many other public and private gatherings,
the park has been the setting for hundreds of thousands of special
memories over the years. The park has recently been renovated with
a new fountain, memorial plaza and art work. Be sure to enjoy a
walk through and around the entire park.
