This unusual cache is in a small park called Cool Run Park in Todd Estates I/ Newark Oaks Development right off Route 4 in Newark, Delaware. Take the turn into the neigborhood from Rt 4 (Chestnut Hill Rd) by the Jennie Smith Elementary School.
It's only minutes from I-95 leading to PA, NJ & MD.
***Congratulations SimmyJellers on FTF! Man you guys are all so quick!***
There isn't any parking for this cache so just park on the right side at the Waypoint Coordinates which should have you stopping next to the woods just before you actually get to the playground area. If you're in the right spot you'll be parked by a lamplight and be able to spot from your car a path leading down to the woods. If you see the boulders in the trees beyond you'll know you're in the right place.
The coordinates for this Waypoint Parking is...
N 39 deg 40.734
W 075 deg 43.011
Head on down that path which slightly curves here in there. There are stickers so look out.
Hopefully the coordinates should take you right to the base of the tree where the big ol' tube is stuck under a tree in a hole in the roots.
If you still have trouble, check out the hint to get a better idea of a landmark made out of trees that I want you to look for.
Ground Zero of the cache can definitely use some TLC so if we each practice "Cache In, Trash Out" it'll be cleaned up for our community of cachers in no time!
Please no caching at night. The park rules are dusk-dawn which is probably safer in this area anyhow.
The tube is huge now, so make sure you bring lotsa swag to help keep the young ones (and those of us who are young at heart) happy with trading and finding new treasures.
There is a small baggie for the FTF with a custom caching stone, FTF certificate and I'm also putting in a Trackable to kick off the fun!
Happy Caching Everybody!
***Thanks Mike Ott for suggesting the rating change. I had thought it was too high too but after answering all the website rating system questions, that was the rating it gave me. I should've gone with my gut. Making the changes***
***YES Mike Ott, it is a matchstick holder! I was waiting for someone to get it! It's a container to hold the big igniter matches for welding. Who knew?!? I love what you can find at hardware stores!***
