Geocache Description:

The Hard Hat cache containers are back-to-back clear plastic jars. The overall size is about 3" dia x 7" long. One half serves as a display case for a mini-batting helmet for one of the 30 major league teams, the other half is a small cache container. Please don't try to unscrew the display side jar.

The Chicago White Sox are a professional baseball team based in Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox presently play in the American League's Central Division in Major League Baseball. From 1991 to the present, the White Sox have played in U.S. Cellular Field, which was originally called New Comiskey Park and nicknamed The Cell by local fans. The White Sox are one of two major league clubs based in Chicago, the other being the Chicago Cubs of the National League. They last won the World Series in 2005.

One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Chicago team was established as a major league baseball club in 1901. The club was originally called the Chicago White Stockings, after the nickname abandoned by the Cubs, and the name was soon shortened to Chicago White Sox. At this time, the team played their home games at South Side Park. In 1910, the team moved into historic Comiskey Park, which they would inhabit for more than eight decades.

The cache is located on an "island" in the middle of Vadnais Lake. The island is accessible by a one-way (Northbound) road that runs through the middle of the lake from the South shore. You can park very close to the cache in summer, but the road is closed to vehicles in the winter.

This cache has been approved by Ramsey County Parks. Park hours are 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset.
