Continuing on with this
series of caches taking you to famous and historic spots in Joliet.
This one takes you to a statue of Robert Piltcher, the person this
park is named after.
Pilcher Park was the Joliet
Park District's first land acquisition. Robert Pilcher, a
self-taught naturalist and businessman, donated the original 327
acres to the City of Joliet with one request, "that it be left in
its wild and natural state except for necessary improvements."
Because of this man's donation and love of nature we now have this
park to enjoy. There are nature trails, two different nature
centers and more. Then of course most importantly a park to fill
with caches.
To
locate this cache you must first go to the statute of Mr. Pilcher
which is at the posted coords. On the statue is the year that
Robert Piltcher donated the land the park is on. Treat the year as
ABCD. You will need to project a way point from this location to
find the cache. The distance is CDD. The bearing is C(C*3)C. When
you get to GZ you are looking for a camoed Tupperware screw top
container. This is a spot viewable by Muggles so be careful and
rehide it the best you can for this cache to last.
Enjoy and happy
hunting.
