Geocache Description:

You are looking for a standard small (30 cal) ammo box.

I thought that it is fitting that my first HIDE should be in the same park as my first FIND. Nicewood Park is a fairly small park that splits Nicewood Drive in two. There are two other caches in the park, Logged Out (GCQ1F1) and Oh Rats! (GCQ1ER). The latter was also my first DNF!

The other two caches in this park are micros and this one not. I am not against micros, but I don’t think they belong in parks. I understand the muggle factor, but it is literally like looking for a needle in a forest!

As with all City Parks, it is only open during daylight. You cannot park at the entrance on the Colony Road side of the park. Suggested parking is in the loop off of Allison Rd. In the loop, there is no parking from 6 PM to 6 AM, but there is room on both sides of the street up from the loop.

The area could use some CITO, so bring a bag or TWO!

I got this bug in my head when I first started caching to make a key ring cache, so I swapped key rings in some caches and added some others I had laying around.
If you want to keep with this theme, fine. If not, it’s your call. I am not picky.

Original contents:
Key rings: LED/ lighted Retractable Clip
Circular Saw Construction cone
Batman Bahamas
NASA Hummer
Kansas City Chiefs Ford

Other: Lint Roller, Emergency Poncho, 2 lanyards.

FTF: Geocaching “G” window decal with instruction sheet, Misting attachment for Hydration Packs.

There is a trail following the stream past “Oh Rats!”
If someone comes up with better coordinates, let me know and I will update the listing.
