Geocache Description:


Monkey bars, also known as jungle gyms and climbing frames, are a piece of playground equipment that allow children to climb, hang, sit, or just generally "monkey around." In 1920 Sebastian Hinton patented the first jungle gym. It was sold under the trademarked name "Junglegym." Though Mr. Hinton stated in his initial patent that the jungle gym appealed to the "monkey instinct" in children the term "monkey bars" did not come into use until 1955. Monkey bars have become a fairly common piece of equipment.

My wife and I took a recent trip to Eastwood park so that she could do a bit of metal detecting. During our visit she made the statement "there are no monkey bars here." Hence the name.

You will be looking for a waterproof matchstick container. Good luck, have fun, and always, please rehide as well or better than you found it.
