A continuation of Pax42's great series along the Mill Creek Streamway hike and bike trail. The Mill Creek Streamway Park is a linear park with over 17 miles of pedestrian and bicycle trails, four miles of horseback riding trails and open spaces for leisure pursuits as jogging, picnicking and nature hiking available for public use. In all, the trail extends from Nelson Island on the Kansas River, south through the Cities of Shawnee and Lenexa, and ending in the City of Olathe.
There are eight Mill Creek Streamway Park Access Points (parking areas). The three closest to this series of caches are:
- Shawnee Mission Park (near Shelter 8 and north end of dam)
- 19803 W 87th Lane (Coords: N 38° 58.000 W 094° 48.895)
- 18459 Prairie Star Parkway (Coords: N 38° 57.203 W 094° 47.860)
The trail also runs through Craig's Crossing Park, a Lenexa city park at 91st & Woodland. Parking is also available there. (Coords: N 38° 57.820 W 094° 48.864)
The hours for the Streamway Park are basically dawn to dusk. Please note that gates at the parking areas are often locked at sunset. And please come prepared: from one parking place, the round trip hike for #6 through #16 is over 4.5 miles. All of these caches are placed with District permission and comply with District guidelines.
The caches in this group (#6 thru #16) are a variety of containers and sizes. Muggle factor can be very heavy for all of them. 3 or 4 FTF prizes scattered among them, including unactivated geocoins.
A camo'd pill bottle hidden in a high traffic area well away from, but within sight of the playground. Beware of the muggle factor. No PI; snakes unlikely, ticks always a possibility.
