Mel Bilich Karst Preserve Cache Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

2Muskadeers: Dear Fellow Geocachers:
<p>
Beckie J. Morris, the Environmental Educator for the Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District (District) and a board member with the New Villages at Western Oaks, which is the subdivision in which the Preserve is located, has requested that we archive this cache immediately.
<p>
Beckie indicated that this is an extremely sensitive piece of land in relation to the Edwards Aquifer and one of only two karst preserves in Austin.
<p>
We are currently working with Beckie to see if we can relocate the cache to an area that would be less detrimental to the area, and will reactivate the cache if we can work something out with BS/EACD.
<p>
Respectfully,
2Muskadeers

Geocache Description:

Cache located in small, but interesting, urban park.

This park has two entrances -- one at La Creseda & Davis and the other at Tiombe Bend & Spirea Ct. The latter is better for parking. Please stick to the trails until you're within 15 - 20 feet of the cache.

Cache is hidden just steps off the trail. While you're here, take a peek (but don't disturb) the cool karst features -- Senatorial Sink, Live Oak Cave, Equinox Cave, Get Down Cave, and Survey Line Cave. This is not an official city or county preserve, so the problems that arose at other similar sites shouldn't be an issue here.
