Geocache Description:

All caches are hidden EAST of the path a short distance

Stage one is just coordinates. Stage two is a bison capsule inside of a fake sprinkler head. No need to approach the railroad tracks or go on private property for any stage of any cache.

This is a series of caches along the Skokie Valley Bike Path. They are designed to be done while biking (or blading) the trail. Save yourself some extra riding by starting at either #1 or #12 in the series. You can pick up all of the stage-one's in one direction, then get all of the stage-two's in the other direction. Do be warned that while all the caches are very close to the trail, you will be searching in dense brush with thorns! Bike shorts are probably a bad idea.

Real not Geo Golf

The golf course just east of here that runs all the way up to the suggested parking area for this series is the Deerpath Golf Course which is a public course owned and operated by the City of Lake Forest. It's supposedly one of oldest municipal courses in the midwest.

A few years ago you could see a lot of construction going on the grounds. Now you just see a lot of golfers. And remember what Bill Murray taught us. While it's OK to try to kill the gophers on the course, you have to leave the golphers alone.
