This cache is part of the 2012 Cache Calhoun Challenge. Visit www.cachecalhoun.org for more information. Grever's Nature Center is a gem to visit! About 90 acres in size, it was donated to the Marshall Public Schools by Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Grevers. Mr. Grevers, who with his wife had immigrated from Holland, purchased the land in 1941, raised perennial flowers on some of it, planted seedling pines on the more hilly portions, and maintained over 6 miles of trails through the acreage. The western portion of Mud Lake lies within the center. All areas except the narrow strip of swamp land at the north end are accessible by trail. A very imformative brochure can be picked up at the parking lot which provides a map of the trail system and a commentary on the variety of habitat, flora and fauna to be found. One point of interest is that the swamp directly north of the center is the headwaters of Dickinson Creek which flows through the Historic Bridge Park at Battle Creek. The cache is located down a well maintained trail about .16 miles from the parking lot. It is only 50' off the trail. I had bug spray on but the mosquito's weren't that bad. I had a great time hiding these two caches in here. I left one of my pathtags. If you didn't know, you can keep pathtags. I have 91 in my collection now. I hope you like the cache and the pathtag. Good luck. BYOP.
As of 08/07/12 I have moved the container and have placed a regular size container because of BEES at the orginal GZ. Just a little further up the hill.
