Geocache Description:

Are you tired of urban micros and park and grabs, if so come over to Gerry Street Nature area and get back to nature. Inside you will find partial coords to Get Back to Nature- Going In.

While searching for this cache the nice wide trail from "Walk with Nature" is gone and you will make your way off trail with relatively little undergrowth to fight thru. Terrain difficulty will change with the seasons and at times the most direct route will not be the best route to take due to mud and standing water. Bring plenty of bug spray during the warmer months and check for ticks. John Muir the famous naturalist and preservationist said something that may help you find stage 1 of this 2 stage cache “When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.”

When attempting this series find "walk with nature" and "where's the path" first, trust me you will be glad you did- both are the closest to the 2 options for parking. One is to park in nearby Emricson park and cross South street- the posted coords to "Walk with Nature" are very close to where the Gerry Street Nature trail begins. See the parking waypoint for the second and closest parking- near this parking option is also the best approach to the cache- this approach will limit the amound of bushwacking.
