Geocache Description:



John Ball, originally from New Hampshire, was a frontier pioneer during the early 19th century. He, along with many others in the Wyeth Expedition, were responsible for much of the mapping and geology of present-day Oregon and Washington state. As a Dartmouth College graduate of Education, John Ball became the region's first school-teacher.

He later settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan where he became a prominent memeber of the community. He always displayed an interest in education, geology, local enterprises and discovering new things. He donated a plot of land to the people of Grand Rapids that is now present-day John Ball Park and Zoo located on Grand Rapids west side.

Like the pioneer John Ball, you may also make new discoveries of your own in this park!

This is a three stage multi that will take you though some undeveloped parts of John Ball park. Although the area is "off-the-beaten-path", please use stealth when appropriate because the park is often flooded with muggles!

The final stage is a regular size lock-n-lock container
