Geocache Description:

A micro cache hidden at Guise Park, in the fair city of Munroe Falls. Easy to find the park, take Route 91 to Munroe Falls Avenue and head west less than a block. This cache is placed at the park’s northern boundary, could plant another cache on the south side….(hint, hint)


This easy micro is placed near an interesting Veteran Memorial. The memorial is a stone block which has been carved on. There are four panels on the block with each major military service represented. Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines. These carvings evoke hisotoric people, weapons, and battles shown above gravestones symbolizing lives given for our country. Take the time to read the plaques here.


Shown is the Navy panel, since I’m a Navy vet. Some of the carvings depict an aircraft carrier, a submarine, a blimp, and a fighter jet. The other panels are equally interesting.

The park has a playground and picnic tables nearby so this is a very family friendly cache.

I’ve been waiting to submit it for approval for 4 months now, I actually placed it physically back in April. When I submitted it to gc.com, I discovered that I was in the same park as another cache, which was only 350 feet away from mine. D’oh! Didn’t realize that I was in Guise Park, which already had the cache “Guise’s Disguise”. The park looks totally different on the north side, I thought that I had found some virgin cache territory! So, I just let the cache sit there until one day I would swing by and pick it up. Wasn’t a high priority, so it sat there all this time. Then a few days ago, at the monthly coffee event, a cacher told me that Guise Disguise had been archived. So after checking on this 4 month old cache yesterday and found it to be dry, I finally get to submit it for approval.

Good luck, bring a pen, and Cache on! This is the hiking viking’s 36th cache in the greater Akron area.

Geochums!
