Geocache Description:

4.6 cup Camoed lock & lock right near a small dirt trail.  

These trails are challanging due to all the storm damage to the trees. I have increased difficulty accordingly

Camoed lock & lock in Rock Creek Regional Park.  I always thought this area was part of Flower Valley Neighborhood Park, but it appears that this one is on the other side of the line.  I suggest you start from the Flower Valley trails rather than the Rock Creek Regional Park.  

Due to the storms there are many trees that have fallen so many paths are challanging.

Flower Valley Neighborhood Park
A natural feature of the 17-acre park is a stream that joins Rock Creek in nearby Rock Creek Regional Park. Recreational features of the park include a multi-use ballfield, playground, tennis courts, and picnic shelter. This park was acquired by M-NCPPC in 1971.

Rock Creek Regional Park
Rock Creek Regional Park covers approximately 1800 acres and includes the beautiful 75-acre Lake Needwood and the picturesque 55-acre Lake Frank. Visitors can enjoy the park by meandering along 13 miles of trails through woodlands and along the lakeshores, picnicking, fishing, boating and viewing many species of resident wildlife. Other park amenities include playgrounds, Needwood Boat Rental and Snack Bar, Meadowside Nature Center and lake tours on the Queen Needwood.

Be sure to follow laws and regulations and all M-NCPPC rules
