Welcome to our Kaskaskia Cache Series! We have placed four caches around the Kaskaskia River State Fish and Wildlife Mangement Area. The first three caches have a number written on the cache container and/or log. You don't necessarily need to find these first three in order, but you will need all three numbers to open the final cache.
This particular cache is the final in the series, so make sure you have the numbers you need from the other three caches, or you won't be able to open the cache! The cache is padlocked, and the combination to open it is:
Kaskaskia #1--Kaskaskia #2--Kaskaskia #3
We placed this cache on a cool, breezy fall evening with the leaves turning beautiful colors. We spotted a lot of blue herons and even had three deer run right out in front of us on the trail, inspiring the cache name. We also discovered a grove of ripe persimmon trees, and Little Brother just couldn't resist a taste. And Horticulture, being true to form, couldn't stop commenting on the GIANT oak and sassafras leaves littering the trail.
Because this cache is on Illinois Department of Natural Resources land, please note the following:
1. Geocache is placed on Department managed property with permission.
2. Do not place the following items in the Geocache: food items; inappropriate, offensive, or hazardous materials.
3. It is the visitors' responsibility to orient themselves with policies and rules pertaining to this Department managed site.
Also note that when Lake Shelbyville is up high, the trails across the levees flood, and then the cache will only be available by water.
