The cache name pretty well sums up this cache. It's not in the prettiest part of the park and it's nothing that will challenge you intellectually, but if you just want a nice easy way to earn a smiley or a cache that has a few items for children to pick through then this cache is for you. There are 2 redeeming factors that this cache has working for it. The first redeeming factor is that in the same park there is a nice 3 stage multi cache which will provide a bit more mental stimulation than this cache (and it has an ammo can for it's final stage!). The 2nd thing going for it is this is a really nice park and after picking up a couple smileys the kids will have a great place to burn off some excess energy.
The name of the 3 stage multi also located in this park is Hidden Helder, GCRZZG. The owners of Hidden Helder did such a great job of describing the parking situation at this park that I'm going to shamelessly copy their text and give them all the credit for the following. "Main drive is off 104th street on the east side of the park. Gates close at 7pm in winter, and at 9pm in summer. If you are in the park when the automatic gate closes, you can still exit by pulling up close to it. Also this park is now connected by a walking path to Jim Kaat baseball park on Quincy Street." I'd strongly recommend while in the park that you also try their fun multi cache out!
The only reason I'm listing the terrain at a 2 star rating is due to the fact that it's almost a half mile round trip from the parking to the cache location. Also, if you have little ones with you there are some very thorny knee high bushes the last half of the walk so warn your children to watch out for them. If it's rained lately it can be real muddy so wear old shoes that you won't mind getting muddy. If the pathway over the small stream is flooded and water is going over the path please do not attempt to cross the stream. Remember it only takes a very small amount of rushing water to wash a full grown man off his feet and there is nothing in this cache worth possibly drowning to get.
I've heard the mosquitoes can be very thick around the cache site so in warm weather bring the repellent!!!
The cache container is a small lock and lock type that has a log book and a few small swag items. It may hold a small trackable item at some point when there's a little open space in the cache container.
The FTF prize for this cache is a $5.00 McDonald's gift certificate book.
As always I'd like to extend a thank you to everybody in this area that's placed caches for others to enjoy!!!
Congratulations go to absophoto on a well deserved FTF!!!
