Geocache Description:


Named in memory of the late Joe Stengel, the Stengel Trail is a mixture of packed gravel, grass, and railroad ballast. Joe was an ardent trail enthusiast, and he would be pleased to know that you are enjoying the trails of the Dixon Park District.

The Dixon Park District is in the process of creating a grass parking area on the north edge of Woosung where the Stengel Trail begins heading 5 miles north to Polo. Another grass lot is located on Judson Road on the south edge of Polo. Both lots are available for horse and snowmobile trailers plus cars and trucks.

The city of Polo provides a trail that passes through the center of town. On the north edge of Polo, a short stretch of the Stengel Trail ends at Fairmount Road. It is hoped to eventually link with the Jane Addams Trail in the city of Freeport since this trail leads on to Wisconsin!

The cache is a camoed plastic quart bottle containing log, pen and small trade items. A special FTF prize and a travel bug were placed in the original cache.

Happy caching!
