Geocache Description:

Fairly well hidden along the river bank, but if you're willing to step down and look around, I'm sure you'll find it. Terrain is not difficult unless muddy, in which case you could very well end up being in "old muddy."

In honor of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest that opened this weekend, I placed a cache along the north branch of the Chicago River. Cache contains beads, Mardi Gras coins, a Fat Tuesday wristband, a gris gris bag and other assorted goodies pertaining to New Orleans. Nothing fancy, just fun stuff. The link with the Chicago River is that if you put in your pirogue (cajun canoe) here, you can navigate over to the Mississippi (old muddy) and eventually down to New Orleans. Bring plenty of supplies, as this may take a while. Container is well visible if you're looking right at it. It also smells good, so I'm hoping it doesn't get messed with by the animals that follow the path. This is a park where one can put in a person-powered boat if you have one and explore the Chicago River. If not, rentals at reasonable prices are available here during season for canoes and kayaks, run by the same people that do the Skokie thing.
