Geocache Description:

The straightest way from parking isn't always the easiest.

The cache is located on the east side of a small trail along a ridge.

I noticed a steep muddy trail after finding the multi in this park and decided to explore it. Luckily, the other cache that used to be nearby was recently archived, making room for a new one.

I marked the spot mentally and went to prepare a cache container. The cache is a small Lock & Lock container a couple feet off the trail.

While you are there, you can visit the City of Dewitt Historic Site marker where the trail ends to the south of the cache. Thanks to Rebel Spies for a link to the information on this ridge.

"The Lansing & St. Johns Electric Railroad ran north from Lansing, MI through DeWitt, MI ending in St. Johns, MI, a total of less than 30 miles. It existed from about 1900 - 1930. Although primarily a passenger line, it did carry light freight and mail, as well as some agricultural and manufacturing goods during its life. It was later purchased by the Michigan Electric Railway company.

Today, some of the right-of-way can be followed, as it now serves as the right-of-way for power transmission."

Congrats to Rebel Spies on the FTF!
