Geocache Description:

Lincoln Park and the Lincoln Park Zoo are great places visit and take some great pictures of Chicago. Don't have a camera? No problem, this cache has all you need!

I love geocaching, both hiding and finding unique and original caches. One thing I always wonder about is what my fellow neighborhood cachers look like. I see their log book signatures here and there, but I want to see more. That desire inspired this cache, entitled "Say Cheese!".

In the container I have placed a small, very cheap ($8 at CVS drug store) digital camera so that you can take a picture of yourself when you find the cache. Please don't take the camera from the cache, obviously. I plan to gather the camera periodically and post pictures here on the cache site. The camera is simple to use and there are instructions on the back of it.

Please post in the log the of the picture you take, so I can label it with your name when i post it here in the log.

Lincoln park is a beautiful park with lots of picturesque locations.
A couple are:
N 41 55.553 W 087 37.939 (good view of Hancock and skyline. Close to the location.)
N 41 55.092 W 08737.985 (My favorite skyline view of the city. Worth the walk from the cache location.)

Thanks to all who took some pictures! This is a fun cache, keep them coming. Don't be afraid to take more than one pic. Post the number of the picture you take in the log if you remember it.

Good Luck!

12/24/2009 Changed camera in cache to a better one that doesn't lose pics when the battery goes dead. So happy i found a cheap camera (<$10) that can do this.
