Geocache Description:

This cache involves a hike of over 1.6 miles on a level trail.

I hope you like this cache. It is located in Sandy Ridge Reservation which is part of the Lorain Metroparks. I really I'm glad to bring people to this unusual park. This is the very first virtual cache that has been granted an official permit by the park system. If you have a good pair of binoculars and birding books, please bring them with you and you'll thank me later because; you will have the opportunity to see more species of wildlife in one day than most people see in a year. There is a bald eagle that has its nest here and is often seen. Here is a link to a bird list of the bird that have been spotted at Sandy Ridge.

No dogs allowed near the cache stage areas
; but dogs are allowed in the parking and playground areas.
