Geocache Description:

Help us celebrate our 50th Anniversary by finding this cache hidden at The West Woods in Russell Twp. Then watch for 3 more caches to be hidden during 2011.


In addition to the 4 physical caches planned for 2011, GPD is extending the anniversary celebration with a special non-caching game that will take you to every park over the course of the year.

Each quarter the Anniversary Game will feature 4-5 different parks and by visiting these parks you can find special cards that are posted as part of the Anniversary Game.

These lettered cards will be posted at a representative feature of each park. Parks are grouped by season in one area of the county to minimize driving. Visiting all the parks will allow you to build the key phrase.

You can begin to play this optional game by finding the special spot here at The West Woods and visiting the other parks featured for this quarter. Use the geocache coordinates listed below when playing the Anniversary Game. Bring a writing utensil to record the letters. Collect all the letters over the year then figure out the phrase.

One of the parks in the last quarter will have a container with the phrase template to enter your letters on. Enter your completed phrase for a chance to win the Anniversary Game Prize. There will be a drawing of correct entries at a special geocache program in February 2012.

The complete phrase template must be returned to The West Woods Nature Center by January 31, 2012 or at the geocache event to be scheduled in February 2012.
