This cache is located in Eaton County's Fitzgerald Park. Motor
vehicle entry fees of $3 may be charged from April through October.
First Wednesday of every month is free-entry day. To stretch your
caching dollars, visit each of Eaton County's parks on the same day
and use the same permit for entry.
Located on the banks of the Grand River, Fitzgerald Park is a
beautiful 78-acre destination for year-round recreation. The park
is best known for its sedimentary rock outcroppings known as the
"Ledges." These geological features offer scenic views and an
opportunity to learn about the wonders of the natural world.
Each time I come to Fitzgerald Park I find yet another beautiful
area that I had not previously discovered. The location of this
cache, near a pseudo waterfall on Bloodwell Creek, is no exception.
This point along West Woods Trail is a nice spot to stop and listen
to the running water. You might be lucky enough to spot some
wildlife. I saw a salamander when hiding the cache.
Cache container is a sandwich size lock and lock that has been
painted brown. It has a MiGO sticker attached. It's large enough
for small trade items. There's a hint for those having trouble
finding it, but please use it only if needed. Please rehide as good
or better than found but keep it in the original hiding spot.
I've added additional waypoints to help you find your way to
this cache, since it's in a less frequently visited area of the
park. I've also included a link to the park brochure, which shows
an overview of the trail maps.
Congratulations to klythel for the
FTF!
