Park approval has been renewed for an additional year.
This is a standard "50mm" ammo box chock full of bells and whistles, bric-a-brac, chachka's, gadgets, gizmo's, geedonk...well, you get the idea. The main entrance to the park is on Adams Dam Road. (Located three miles north of Wilmington near the intersection of Routes 100 and 92.) Park at the Nature Center lot N39º48.464' W075º34.756'. (A free trail map is available there.) Alternate closer parking (given as waypoint below) is on east side of the river on Thompkins Bridge Road (Rt 92).
The park is opened year-round. Entrance fees are collected daily during the summer season, and on weekends and holidays in the spring thru Nov. ($4 per car for DE, $8.00 for non-residents).
The cache is less than 100 yards off-trail, but be prepared for briers ..."ouch!"
The original cache location had to be moved. It's easy to see why--Old coordinates were 39D 48.951 and 75D 262 The hint for this location was a clever poem:
It's not a mystery worthy of Holmes,
though the trail does dead-end near the target of your tour.
But you'll find the trunk at the tip of the cone,
just keep your eyes peeled for the Sign of the Four.
Check it out, it was a great hiding place until a new gas line changed things, exposing the 4-trunk tree to the main road. The current cache is within 300 feet of old location--it had to be moved a second time due to more pipeline work.
