A 2010 addition to the '09 series along the Mill Creek Streamway hike and bike trail.
The Mill Creek Streamway Park is a linear park with over 17 miles of pedestrian and bicycle trails, four miles of horseback riding trails and open spaces available for public use for leisure pursuits such as jogging, picnicking and nature hiking. In all, the trail extends from Nelson Island on the Kansas River, south through the Cities of Shawnee and Lenexa, and ending in the City of Olathe. This trail was recently designated a National Recreation Trail by the U.S. Interior Department.
There are eight Mill Creek Streamway Park Access Points (parking areas). The two closest to this series of caches are:
- 19803 W 87th Lane (Coords: N 38° 58.000 W 094° 48.895)
- 18459 Prairie Star Parkway (Coords: N 38° 57.203 W 094° 47.860)
The trail also runs through Craig's Crossing Park, a Lenexa city park at 91st & Woodland. Parking there is the closest to this cache. (Coords: N 38° 57.820 W 094° 48.864)
The hours for the Streamway Park are basically dawn to dusk. Please note that gates at the parking areas are often locked at sunset. This cache is in the Craig's Crossing Park portion of the trail. Since this is a Lenexa park, the hours might be slightly longer. This cache was placed with the permission of the Lenexa Parks and Recreation.
The cache is a small painted loc-n-loc type container. Only 30' off the paved trail, but it will definitely be easier in the winter. Muggles may often be a factor.
PI and stickers abound in these areas. Ticks and snakes possible, if not likely.
Please rehide it as good as or better than you found it.
