Cricket Creek ~ Half A Seat Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

lele2: The hidey hole for this cache has been over run with ants so I decided NOT to replace the cache and archive it instead; as there is NO good place to place the cache in the same proximity.

Geocache Description:

Small container.

Cricket Creek FP is part of the Salt Creek Greenway (SCG) and was developed to mitigate flooding from the Salt Creek. Three small ponds (used during overflows of the Salt Creek); allow fishing, model boating, picnicking and a walking/cycling trail which makes this a nice area for the surrounding residential community to enjoy! I have found it a surprisingly quiet walk around the crushed limestone, 3 mile trail, considering its proximity to Rte. 83.
Current construction along the Salt Creek Greenway will one day link 30 walking/cycling/equestrian miles along the SCG ~ including links to community bike trails, The Great Western Trail and The Prairie Path.
Salt Creek Greenway Update: The Salt Creek Greenway Bike trail is nearly finished in Elmhurst. A "cog in the wheel" in what residential street to use for a link is currently being reviewed. The bike trail through Villa Park also is looking good ~ wondering how the crossing at two major arteries will take place ~ North Ave. and St. Charles Rd. I have attached a few pictures of the trail I recently took on a walk through the Elmhurst section.
