Plan for a day of caching fun in Lake Houston Wilderness Park. Basic park hours are 9 AM to 6 PM and the park is closed on Tuesday. There is a $3.00 admission fee for vistitors age 13-65
The majority of caches are intended to be easy to find, and are generally
only a short distance into the tree line from the trails and roads. To complete
the series will require a hike or bike trek of in excess of
12 miles. The final distance traveled will, of course depend on the order in which
the caches are hunted. Some, but not all, caches may be accessed by driving
however a bicycle is the best means of reaching the caches. Terrain
is generally flat and the trails are not difficult to ride or walk. The terrain numbers
of the caches are lower in the vicinity of the park headquarters and
main parking area, but increase for certain caches, primarily in the far reaches of
the park. A special word of thanks to djbtex for supplying The Three Amigos with at least 50 of the caches placed for this series. Standard Texas woodland caveats
apply: You may encounter any or all of the usual denizens of the
forests in the area such a venomous reptiles, ticks, mosquitoes, fire ants, feral
hogs, poisonous plants, etc. Bring plenty of liquids, particularly in warmer
weather. This is a wilderness park and water and other creature
comforts are only available in the vicinitiy of park
headquarters. Please note that GPS accuracy was poor on the day the caches were placed and as a result, please be prepared to expand your search area.
