Geocache Description:

Off ramp from Prospect Expressway. There is no connection from here to BQE west so you must exit here and turn into "The hole in the Wall" futher down the avenue.

LINKING CENTRAL BROOKLYN WITH THE BATTERY TUNNEL: The Prospect Expressway, which links central Brooklyn with the I-278 and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel (I-478), marks the beginning of the 120-mile-long Route 27. The six-lane limited-access route with flanking service roads runs parallel to Prospect Avenue, ending at Ocean Parkway (an at-grade surface boulevard) just southwest of Prospect Park. The route of NY 27 continues east through Brooklyn along Linden Boulevard.
Prospect Expressway is a short sunken highway that runs southeast through Park Slope and Windsor Terrace. Due to the space constraints of building in an already-urbanized area, the highway stretches a little over 2 miles (3.2 km) and has an inconsistent entrance-exit scheme.

This series includes parks, walkways, sitting areas, & playgrounds alongside or next to the expressway. I walk it all the time; biking is recommended. Between the hides; there will be inclines, as the neighborhood is hilly. Parking is hard to get quickly at certain cache locations.

Pill Container.  BYOP.  Log Only.  $1 FTF prize.  Cache On! I had to move some of these hides around due to public sensitivity to overpasses and bridges; so, as always, be stealthy but not suspicious. Hide container just as you found it.  Open in stealth; high muggle zone. Please help me keep this hide a secret. I stole this camo idea from a creative hide I found. Not hard for an avid cacher. Congratulations to schbus86 on FTF!
