Geocache Description:

A regular sized cache hidden away in one of Jefferson County's best
parks.

The history of Sam Michael's Park is hard to uncover. Not many references are available for one to research. It is known that a man named Sam Michael lived on this land as a farm many years ago (40-50).

He loved exotic animals, including llamas and others, and kept many of them here. Upon his death, he donated all of this land to the Jefferson County Parks for use by scouts and other groups.

The park is open Dawn to Dusk and can be reached through many entrance locations. Note that access is through the park entrances, not the maintenance entrance.

The cache you seek is hidden not far from the location of his original house and barn. The front porch along with the massive columns are all that is left. The area is not in the best shape, hence the 2.5 terrain.

The cache is large enough for most objects, so trade away!! An unactivated FTF coin awaits the first to find
cacher.

Congratulations to LPYankeeFan, MrsLP, and the Incredibles on the FTF!!
