Hope you enjoyed MacGregor Park!!! As of Nov 2010 there is a new entrance to the park. It is about 1/4 mile east of Hwy 31 on Hwy 38.
This is a new park in Washington Township. It "officially" opens at the end of September 2008 but we were told that it is fine to use the park now. The trail and parking are finished. Park hours are dawn to dusk. No night caching here with the private residence nearby. According to the sign in the park "Sheila MacGregor Beals was a small Scottish woman with a large heart. She came from England after World War II and finally settled in Hamilton County. She loved gardening and walking in the forest you will be using. Her daily 1 - 2 mile walks became legendary and her only desire was that this area would forever be preserved so others could learn to love nature as she did. So use this area wisely and think of Sheila MacGregor who made it all possible." (We were told that the current sign was printed with her name spelled incorrectly and will be changed.) This is a series of 7 caches. The path leads from the parking lot to the northeast. All caches have been placed within 100 feet of the path with mild bushwacking once you leave the trail. It would be my guess that, as with all woods, there is the chance of encountering some stickers (but we only ran into them in placing one of the caches) and poison ivy. Some of the caches were placed near old fencing so beware of barbed wire and fencing on the ground near the caches. None of the hides are tricky - our goal was to get others to go out and enjoy the walk through this nice park. And thanks, Sheila MacGregor, for sharing your lovely forest with us! This last cache is a 2x4x5 inch lock-n-lock. Two terrain is just for the slight hill and the tall grass between the parking lot and the cache. Actually, I don't know why this one would be a two but, because it is a team effort in placing these and Jerry thinks this is a little harder, we are making it a 2.
