A couple of years ago, the
Odyssey Posse family moved from Colorado back “home” to Indiana. We
moved to Bainbridge (west of Indy), where we lived for a couple of
years. Earlier this year, we moved from Bainbridge down to Santa
Claus, even closer to the “home” where we grew up. The whole
process has been about returning to our roots.
Growing up in Tell City, I
spent many, many days and nights camping at Lincoln State Park.
Now, so many years later, my own family lives just a couple of
miles down the road, and we have the pleasure of hiding a few
geocaches to bring people to this park we love.
As a child, I walked Trail 1
around Lake Lincoln countless times. This cache will take you along
Trail 1 to a place just down the hill from the Fire Tower. When you
get to the wooden foot bridge, leave the trail and follow the
ravine to the coordinates. Be careful. The terrain here is very
uneven and there are many places to trip and fall. If it has rained
lately, the area could be very muddy and hard to
navigate.
Enjoy your search and the view
of the lake. You’re looking for a medium-sized watertight container
(somewhat like a lok-n-lok). Make sure to re-hide it better than
you found it, so that others will have the same experience you did.
I can’t remember if I put a pen in the container or not, so bring
your own just in case.
Don’t forget to search for the
other caches in the park. There are several nearby. Maybe
Geocaching with your kids will help you plant some roots of your
own!
