You are looking for a camo-wrapped Koolaid container, which contains some neat items such as:
Palm III handheld - which works, just needs new batteries
Walt Dinsney World Bottle Opener
Neat home-made FTF prize for the first Lucky cacher.
You will find youself in a beautiful forested area which in the past was referred to as Crane's Grove. My Uncle Steve tells me that Crane's Grove was the first official settlement in Illinois, with Waddam's Grove being the second. I was not able to come up with anything on an internet search that would back up this claim, but feel free to add anything you find. I was also told that somewhere in this area is a plaque that marks the location of the original home that started the settlement, but I was not able to track that down either. Regardless, this is a beautiful walk and a chance to find some treasures while you're out.
