Take a hike along the "black" or "yellow" trail. (The trailhead is
straight back from the pavilion) and follow either one to the
backside of the park before you head off-trail (or you could
bushwack the entire way...the choice is yours). At ground zero,
you'll find a big tree and some deadfall. Take a gander around the
area and see if you can't find something to smile about. When
you find yourself "face to face" with Mr. Smiles, turn and look in
the direction he is looking. Ahead about 20 feet you will see a
tree lying on the ground. Step over that tree and you'll be
standing in a "triangle" of downed trees. The container is within
that triangle, at ground level. Also, check out someone's
handywork right at GZ. I have no idea how they managed to get that
branch into the pipe but they did. It's much too big to CITO, so
it's still lying there.
There are a few small trade items to start and the container is
big enough to hold some swag and trackables. Please rehide the
cache as you found it and do not remove Mr. Smiles as that would
make me and luluonthego very sad. We hope this cache puts a smile
on your dial!
***The last two times I've checked on this cache, Mr. Smiles was
having eye problems. If you see him with his eye hanging down,
please rehang it so he can see straight. Thanks!***
The main parking lot is closed during the winter months but
there is an alternate lot. Turn onto Galaxy Drive and then right
onto Yukon Lane.
