This is part of a series of caches that I've placed along Hidden Creek. All the caches are near or fairly near a trail. I haven't found this little creek on any maps, but the park near this cache is named "Hidden Creek Park". Using the deductive skills I learned while reading all those Sherlock Holmes short stories, I figured out the creek name all by myself. The paths along the creek vary from nicely paved to dirt or mud. There's also a lot of diversity in the landscape along the creek. Lots of building has gone on near the creek lately, and it's not likely to end soon. I would guess that the paths will be developed into a nice bike trail soon. For now, it looks like parts of it are used by ATVs.

The posted coordinates are for stage 1, which only has the coordinates for stage 2.

When searching for stage 2, you'll be looking for a 2 quart clear Lock and Loch container.. It contains a few small trading items to start out, and there's room for more small stuff. Both stages are  very close to a paved trail, and they shouldn't be hard to spot. I did the best I could with coordinates, but if you think they're off a little, please post your findings.

You can park around N41 43.336  W88 16.800 and do all the caches along the creek in 1 nice long walk.

Good luck!

Came over from Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Brought the mojo with me and made this one much harder than necessary. Got stage 1 no problem but then loaded in the cords just a bit off. Said the cache was on the other side of the creek. Well this was a deep creek so I decided to grab a log and make a bridge. When making a bridge you should be sure of your supports. I thought I had the log going from bank to bank but one end was just on built up ice. As soon as I stepped onto the middle of the log it collapsed plunging my feet into the stream. When I got to the other side the cords said the cache was beyond the barbed wire fence in the freight yard. Being a GOJAC cache I figured something must be wrong as their cords are usually dead on. Went back to stage 1 and sure enough I copied in one number wrong. After putting in the right cords this became a very easy 2-parter. TFTH I think?!

Changing this log to a 'Found it' with the owner's permission. Dropped a fully loaded lock'n'lock that was pulled from Big Rock FP to replace the container that went missing here. Nice walk along a paved trail. Not great access for GOJAC's Perscription for Stress Relief though. ;-)
Since this is one of my nearest unfound multis I decided to go after it today, even after reading the logs I thought I'd give it a shot. Found the first stage with no problem but didn't find the second. Oh well. It was still a nice walk and I learned how folks in this subdivision deal with aquariums they no longer want.

I found stage one easy enough and headed for stage two. Coordinates took me straight to the obvious spot, bu nothing was there. I checked some of the not so obvious spots after that but no luck.
