Park in the parking lot off Ridgeview Drive and you are in the
middle of a great park that features one of the finest Frisbee Golf
Courses in the area. At every "hole" of this 12-hole Frisbee Golf
Course, there is part of an Eagle Scout service project performed
by a scout from Troop 204. The scout measured the dimensions of
each hole and used a computer program to make maps for each hole.
The maps were laminated and then attached to a post for each hole.
This was the end of the first phase of the project. The second or
installation phase required digging holes for posts at each hole,
mixing and hauling cement all over the course and permanently
setting the post and map at the "tee-off" box for each hole. Once
dried, the removed dirt had to be placed around the post. The
pictures show the installation phase of this project.
All in all, the project took nearly 200 hours. The scout
indicated that he selected a project that was personally meaningful
to him. He plays the cours, and now has the satisfaction of knowing
new Frisbee Golfers can tell what lies ahead.
The cache is placed near hole #9 on the course. On a busy night
or weekend, there may be many mugglers that are playing the course.
You can generally hear the golfers coming long before you see them.
Be courteous and let them play through before resuming your
hunt.
This cache is part of the "Cache to Eagle" series highlighting
service projects conducted by Eagle Scout candidates. This series
highligts Eagle Scout service projects in Chief Black Dog District
of Northern Star Council, BSA. The Chief Black Dog District
includes scout troops in the communities of Apple Valley, Eagan,
and Burnsville. This particular Eagle Scout service project was
conducted in the August of 2009 by a Boy Scout from Troop 204.
