This cache was placed as part of my 
10
Years! - 10-10-10 Flash Mob - Chicago, IL (GC2EXYG) Event, and
to celebrate 10 Years of Geocaching, the Binary Holiday, and
Earthcache Day 2010! It is hidden along a stretch of
"rails-to-trails" up in the Northern burbs. Park North or South of
the cache, and enjoy a nice walk along the trail ... AND get a
smiley! 
This cache was also hidden right after they clear-cut along the
trail in the Fall, so it may be a little bit of a bushwhack in the
warmer months.
I have no idea what "The Thing" that guards the cache is, I just
know that it's a neat, and very odd looking "Thing". Have Fun, and
please CITO!
