Just west of the Naperville Police Dept, Cache should be WHEELCHAIR friendly when there is NO snow on the ground. Good one for beginners. Available all 4 seasons.
***For Experienced Geocachers with more than 100 finds, this is an easy find. Lots of spoilers below to help new geocachers . If you can't find it after reading the copy below, PLEASE post a DNF (Did Not Find Log)
There is ample parking within 150' of the cache.
Cache is camouflaged, but in plain sight when approached from the west side,
40 feet away. The coloring is almost an exact match, so look closely.
Container has room for a couple of SMALL objects, and should be available year round.
It should be within reach of all or 99% of all seekers.
WHEELCHAIR friendly. Therefore it is NOT on top of one of the pavilion's columns.
Absolutely NO bushwhacking required, so please stay out of the flower beds!
Great place to bring a sack lunch. Several picnic tables there overlooking the lake.
No GPS EQUIPMENT? GRAB A COMPASS. And read on.
Lake Osborne is located just west of Naperville’s Police Department at 1350 Aurora Ave.
If Lake Osborne had an address it would be about 1450 Aurora Avenue.
Compass directions / or just more help for beginners. At the entrance to Lake Osborne there is a light pole with the number 096064 on it.
Make your heading 178 degrees and walk about 87 paces.(+/-10 paces)
More help? Take the path to the right (west) of the pavilion to a light pole with the number
096123 on it. Make your heading 58 degrees and walk about 69 paces.(+/-10 paces)
Where the 096123 path intersects with the 096064 path is VERY close to where the cache should be.
Light pole 096064 is at N41.45.926 W88.10.883
Light pole 096132 is at N41.45.885 W88.10.900
Stuck? E-mail me or post a DNF. I'll throw you a couple more hints.
