This is
a mini-series placed in celebration of the 10 Year Anniversary of
Geocaching!
Welcome
to Paul Douglas Forest Preserve. You will find that this
series is best served by way of the bike trail with some of the
hunts being bike friendly and others not so much. You will
find some location to be dry and some not so dry depending on time
of year. All hides are hidden traditionally and you can find
a GPX file of the bike trail
here. Here you will find Cache #16 of 19 and this cache
contains partial coordinates for #18.
Most of us have heard of or
actually hunted the infamous series (and now archived 
)
"Geo-Golf", a classic in
its own right which was the start of Geocaching in "Triads"
in the Chicago area. From
this classic series other great series like
Can Can,
Box Box, and
Jar Jar were soon to follow. So where would
that lead to next? Who knew? So as a tribute to some of
our favorite series to date Princess and I would like to offer you
"LOCK LOCK"!
In this series of 19 caches you
will be looking for a variety of Lock N Lock containers (what
else?) and like the
others this
series can be done in triads, or all at once. For those of you that are new to "Triads",
the concept is simple. The first two caches (each of the
twelve regular caches in this case) have half the coordinates for
one of the mystery caches (i.e. find #1 and #2 and you will have
the actual coords for #3, etc.). The first 6 mystery caches
contain the coordinates for the final cache (#19), in the
series.
We have tried to locate this in
an area that was conducive to all, be it alone or in a group, on
foot or on bike, with what we hope you find to be convenient
parking. Good luck and have fun! If you attack the
whole series at once it would be interesting to see what your time
is, feel free to include that in your log. We hope you enjoy
this series as much as Princess and I did planning and placing it
for you!
