During the last year we've had the privilege of finding a lot of
different geocaches in many different environments. We've found
Park and Grabs, Traditionals, and Multi's stashed in some out of
the way places. We've done puzzles that made you rack your brain or
comb the internet for information. However, our favorites have been
series placed in natural areas someone wanted to share. This cache
is of one of those. This cache and six others have been placed
along the hiking trails in the Ridge Point Community Church Natural
Area, a part of the
Macatawa Greenway. The series will take you for a walk through
the 75 acres of prairie, seasonal wetlands, and along the banks of
the Macatawa River .
At each cache you will find a code written inside the
cover of the container. Be sure to write these down. You will
need this information to find the bonus cache. Some of these
containers are located in the flood plain. Please, please, screw the covers on tightly and make
sure the containers are placed back in their hiding places securely
so they don't disappear when the river rises.
All of the containers are located within approximately 100 ft or
less off the mowed paths. There is no need to bushwhack or blaze
a new path through the prairie grass. As mentioned some of
these containers are located in the flood plain. Overshoes are
recommended if it has been raining.
These caches are placed on church property that they willingly
share with the public. Please be respectful of church activities.
Services are typically held Saturday evening, Sunday morning and
evening. Check their website for more information.

good or better than you found it.
