Otter Creek Oxbow Redux Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ToastyTubes: Well, thanks to the Federal Government Stimulus, access to this cache from the east is now NOT possible on public land. I will need to try to replace this cache in the spring on the OTHER side of the creek. You can't stop progress.

Geocache Description:

A small cache located along Otter Creek

This cache is a replacement for a muggled cache. As a result, it is a Ziploc twist top container, located in a bit more brush than the previous cache.

This cache is located along Otter Creek. The stream was slightly rerouted with US 53 was rebuilt in 2006. A partial trail was built underneath the highway, and that is used to access this cache.

Park along S. Willson Dr. just north of the Otter Creek Lift station. Proceed along the tree line to the SW corner of the water retention area to find the trail. (It’s surfaced with wood chips).

Follow the trail under the highway bridge. Once under the bridge, head southwest towards the creek. This cache is on the EAST side of the creek.

There may be places to cross the creek (if you’re on the west side) but do so at your own risk.

The container is a small Ziploc twist top container.

Enjoy the nice view of the creek. Listen to the gentle sound of the creek rapids, while at the same time, the roar of the nearby highway traffic.

NOTE: As of the summer of 2010, there is a water retention pond under construction near the parking coordinates. There is heavy truck traffic near that site. Use caution when searching for the cache during construction hours. Not sure when the project is scheduled to be complete.
