One of my favorite aspects of Geocaching is exploring and appreciating nature. Unfortunately, living (and geocaching) in Chicago that urge to reconnect with nature often goes unfulfilled. Take this opportunity to fully appreciate the beauty and serenity of this hidden gem that is Lincoln Park. The scenic walk around the North Pond to the final location is approximately .4 miles. Be sure to bring your camera and post your pictures.
The container is a Lock & Lock box large enough to hold small trade items. Please use extreme stealth as Lincoln Park is very popular especially during the summer months. Allow at least 1 hour to do this cache. Although Lincoln Park is one of the safest areas in Chicago, I do NOT recommend doing this cache at night due to security and safety issues.
Happy Hunting!
Thanks to 1queenand4jokers whose Patriot Game (GCMNW4) was thoroughly enjoyed on our '09 Winnipeg trip. So much so...we copied it.
Also a BIG thanks to Just Me + You & seedofmemory for helping me test this one. Hope you guys remember it.
