Another one in a series of caches in Jonesboro Parks. This is a micro and you will need to bring your own writing instrument. Please, before you retrieve the cache, notice how it is hidden and replace it back like it was.
We hid one here in back in 2006 and had problems with it disappearing. We decided it was time to try it again
Located on the grounds of the Earl Bell Community Center in Jonesboro. This container is hidden pretty well and could be a little challenging. Be mindful of muggles. You will need to bring your own writing instrument.
