This cache is in the little-known
Highland Park in Chanute. According to the sign at the entrance,
the City of Chanute originally purchased this 10 acre plot of land
as a rock quarry on September 11, 1902. It was dedicated as a park
on April 5, 1912, after the January 10, 1912, Park Bond
Election.
Along with the playground aspect,
this park features pretty scenery, walking paths and tennis courts
to practice your forehand or backhand. Many birthday parties and
family reunions are held here. There is also a huge water fountain
that lights up at night.
Check out the
City of Chanute's web site for
other family friendly places in Chanute.
The cache container is a small Ziploc
bowl with a log. Please bring your own pen and please make sure the
lid tightly seals. Travel Bugs and Geocoins are highly recommended
to trade. HappyHunting!
Congrats to SiglerSearchers for being
FTF!!!
