Off of CMHI walking trail...in the woods...deep grass...drainage and bricks...
Lots of bricks, in the woods, need a line from north and south...many bricks without any moss...don't need to cross fence to find ...but may need to .....to get a line...
Both sides of the fence belong to the CMHI grounds, I have permission from CMHI administrator, Tony Morris...because it is state grounds, there are some rules....Wonder Boy states them best....and I Quote:
"The Cherokee Mental Institute was opened in 1902. The many building on the grounds are of interesting architecture. In 1995 a Walking Trail, open to the public, was built around the remaining campus. The trail is approximately 2.7 miles in length. There are wooded, as well as prairie, areas along the entire route. There is also a great deal of wildlife along the trails, especially in the northeast area and the south central area. The ideal course would be to park at the main trail parking lot and then head north
and follow the path until you find all of the caches. There is minimal bushwhacking necessary off of the main trail and the mosquitoes are virtually non-existent, at least during daylight hours. Major bushwhacking not recommended. Due to the number of deer, what appear to be “geotrails” probably aren’t. The trail is 98% dirt, unless it rains when it becomes mud. Both edges of the trail are mowed in most places though.
This is state property so the following simple rules are in effect:
1. Respect the privacy of hospital patients, as required by state law. (Code of Iowa, Chapter 228.)
2. This trail is unsupervised. Trail users are responsible for their own safety.
3. Motorized vehicles are not permitted on the trail.
4. Remove all litter, and place it in the containers located at the trail shelter. (In other words please practice CITO.)
The coordinates for the main trail parking lot are: N 42° 45.350 – W 095° 34.128
There are other hard surface parking lots around the grounds that you may park in, just do not drive on any roads that are not hard surfaced."
