This is one of the most interesting parks I have found. I could have easily stayed all day, but only had a couple hours. If you take the State Corridor Trail, it's about a 1-1/4 mile walk to the farm. You will walk (or bike) on a gravel road until you reach Sand Creek. The trail becomes softball-sized rocks as you cross the water. You can also reach this cache by following the Mazomani Trail, but it's probably a longer walk, and you can't ride a bike.



The entrance is on a dead end road (145th Street W.), off of Hwy. 169 South, that goes past the Renaissance Festival. It is located in Louisville Township.





The cache is in this large hollow tree on the river bank.
