Cache # 4 of 6 Caches
Games:
Mountwood Park has a 9-hole disc golf course, shooting range, and miniature golf course. The shooting range is located at the front of the park near the lake. Hours of operation are from dawn until dusk Monday through Saturday and 1pm to 5pm on Sundays.
The nine hole disc golf course runs through the core part of the park and the miniature golf course is located on Games Hill above the core part of the park. Miniature golf rentals are available at the Marina Concession Stands.
And now on with the cache. Beginning at Copperhead Trailhead, across the road from parking, you will work your way along the trail by following the lights in the night. All you have to do now is follow the lights until you find a bright red reflector. At that point your hunt begins. Fire tacks will lead you deep into the forest to the hidden treasures of Mountwood. After claiming the bounty, return to the red reflector and continue on the trail to the next large red reflector. A total of six red reflectors will be your goal for the evening. You will encounter many small stream crossings, switchbacks, and dangers on the trail as you work your way through the night to the final cache. Haunting cries of the times past can still be heard. The eyes of the night watch your every move. Beware and keep a constant vigil of your surroundings. NEVER loose the trail or you may wonder aimlessly about until the early morning light.
It should take close to 2 hours to complete.
I hope you enjoy your time at Mountwood Park.
