Enjoy a nice walk in park, small hill to cache. I've raised the difficulty because of the poor GPS reception in the area. One moment I am spot on and the next it appears to be forty feet off.
Calumet Park is a 198 acre park in Chicago, Illinois. It provides access to Lake Michigan from the East Side neighborhood on the city's Southeast Side. The park contains approximately 0.9 miles of Lake Frontage from 95th Street to 102nd Street. The park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Calumet Park is named after the Calumet River and the Calumet Region of southeast Chicago and northwestern Indiana drained by the river. Planning for Calumet Park began in 1904 with the initial acquisition of 40 acres of land. The Olmsted Brothers, a noted firm of urban landscape architects, drew up initial plans for landscaping the proposed new park; however, as a result of the swelling population of the East Side and a consensus that the original plans were inadequate, further land acquisitions were made, the Olmstead plans were revised, and facilities were built.
The original park opened in 1905, but was later enlarged; a fieldhouse was erected in 1924 at 98th Street and Avenue G. In the 1930s, Calumet Park attained its current size of 198 acres. There are lakefront beaches at 96th, 98th, and 99th Streets.
You will have to hunt around a bit. Micro-size camo container, log only, bring a pencil. Can be some muggles in the summer time.
