Park in the long parking lot on the west side of Johnny Cake
Avenue. You will be in Apple Valley’s Johnny Cake Ridge West
Park. The cache isn't too far from this point.
This cache is part of the "Cache to Eagle" series highlighting
service projects conducted by Eagle Scout candidates. This series
highlights Eagle Scout service projects in Chief Black Dog District
of Northern Star Council, BSA. The Chief Black Dog District
includes scout troops serving the communities of Apple Valley,
Eagan, and Burnsville. This particular Eagle Scout service project
was conducted in the late sping of 2009 by a Boy Scout from Troop
298. The scout worked with the City of Apple Valley. The City
provided 20 Austrian Pines. The scout assembled a work crew that
planted the trees, filled in the openings and mulched each tree.
The trees were 4-5’ high when planted.
The project took approximately 105 hours to complete. The
project will eventually provide a beautiful screen between the
parking lot and the athletic complex with ball diamonds,
playfields, basketball/ game courts, tennis courts, outdoor
volleyball courts, hockey rinks, skating rinks, and park
buildings.
Each of the twelve "Cache to Eagle" series caches for the Chief
Black Dog District (in the communities of Apple Valley, Eagan, and
Burnsville) have a designated code word associated with the cache.
Generally, the code word will be within the cache (such as written
or taped to the lid). The code word is one of the twelve points of
the Scout Law. Anyone who finds all twelve "Cache to Eagle" caches
for the Chief Black Dog District and emails a listing of all the
codewords and associated Cache Nos. is eligible to receive a
special "Cache to Eagle" patch. Copy and complete the following
