Geocache Description:

Another in a (small) series of caches placed near Kyiv metro stations. My first new hide since returning to Ukraine.

Close to Poznyaki Park is a small pond with a walking trail around it. In the hot summer evenings, you can find many people enjoying a stroll or relaxing under the trees by the water.

The cache is a small black film cannister type container. I had originally tried to place a small container here, but it was muggled twice before ever being found, so I finally decided a micro is all this location can hide. Please be on the look out for muggles, as there could be many around. Also please try to rehide the cache well so it isn't apparent to the many people using the area.

Unfortunately, as with many parks in the area, there is garbage strewn around this one. The area of the cache wasn't bad when it was hidden, but that may change over time, so wear good footwear and be careful where you put your hands.



August 16, 2010 - I just noticed today that this is currently Ukraine's 100th active cache. I hadn't looked at the time it was published, but a PQ I downloaded on July 24th showed 98 caches, and I saw this today when I did a search for all caches in the country. I'm not sure how many caches have been archived over the years, but it's nice to see the country's active caches hit the triple digits.
