From I-57, take the University Avenue exit towards the east. At the
first traffic signal, turn right (south). Turn right (west) again
on Springfield Avenue, continuing to a park. Turn off Springfield
to your right (North), just past a footbridge, and park here:
N 40 06.869 W 088 17.366.
Bring a flashlight. Don't attempt this one during flooding or
rainstorms (certain dangers may present themselves).
Around N 40 07.089' W 88 17.213 you'll find a good spot to cross
the water. The cache container was replace in mid June 2003, again
in mid July, for a third time in December 2003, and yet again in
June 2006. It is now a small nalgene jar, nearly a microcache, with
very little room for trinkets (just a few very small things, a
logbook and pencil).
The cache container is permanently chained to an eyebolt,
please don't try to detach it! Please take care to place the
cache container deep within it's hidy spot, and cover with some
woody debris so that local kids don't find it. A picture of the
cache container is shown below:
Please sign the log and take care to rehide the cache!
Thanks.
SPECIAL NOTE: Some folks have suggested a closer parking
spot that results in a shorter (and less interesting) walk to the
cache. As of 16 April 2005, we noticed that access via the route
they suggested is now posted with no trespassing signs. Please
respect private property and either park where we suggested OR park
some distance north of the alternate site suggested in some of the
log entrys for this cache. Thanks.
