Tribbles (Polygeminus grex) are fictional animals of the Star Trek universe. They are small, soft and gentle and produce a soothing purring sound. These traits are said to endear them to most sentient beings which encounter them, including GEOCACHERS. They also reproduce at an amazing rate, leading to the expression "multiplying like tribbles" and thus to the theme of this cache.

About the Park: Hawk Island County Park is located on Cavanaugh Road, between Pennsylvania Avenue and Aurelius Road, in south Lansing.
A vehicle entrance fee will be collected on Tuesday through Sunday year round. The fee is $2 for Ingham County residents and $4 for non-residents. Annual passes are available to residents for $20 and to non-residents for $40.
This is Ingham County's newest park. Long-time residents will remember the Sablain Gravel Pit location, which has been transformed into a beautiful park featuring natural planting areas. Hawk Island offers rowboat and pedal boat rental, a swimming beach, Splash Pad®, picnic areas and shelters, sand volleyball, horseshoes, paved accessible walkways (1.5 miles) and fishing docks and a concession stand. A community built playground opened in 2004. The state-of-the-art Splash Pad®, which opened in the summer of 2006, is the newest attraction at Hawk Island County Park.
In the winter, bring the family and enjoy sledding down the big hill or the little folks hill. Then warm up with a cup of hot chocolate in the warming lodge.
