My friend J (of Team J&K) broke his foot geocaching on 6/9/07.
You can read the log of his accident here:

This series is for J, (and you too, of course) and all caches in
this series are designed to be wheelchair friendly. Since K can
help him search, it's OK if he needs a little reach for the cache,
but the area need to be wheelchair easy.
This cache is on the new Eagle Creek Greenway trail, just south of
the Eagle Creek Park entrance. The trail will eventually be 14.5
miles long, and only 3 sections have been completed so far. Here is
more info on the trail's intended route: <visit

This pond has muskrats! The best time to see them is early morning,
or in the last 2 hours before sunset. I have seen at least 4 at one
time. One particularly industrious muskrat appears to be feathering
her nest as she cruises around the pond bringing mouthfuls of grass
to her feed her brood. So take a walk around the pond and see what
there is to see, including a nesting pair of green herons (see the
nearby Green Heron cache listing) and lots of ducks and geese and
baby bunnies all over the place. I love spring!
You are seeking a small LockNlock container not more than 2 steps
off the path. No need to search among the rocks. Bring your own
pen.
