Located in Albemarle County's newest park - Preddy Creek Park. Open 7 AM - 1 hour after sunset. The park has some GREAT horseback, mountain biking and hiking enthusiasts trails. Trail maps are available at the kiosk in the parking area next to the restrooms. I logged about 6.5 miles while setting up all the caches involved in this Mystery Cache Series and about 2.75 hrs. of moving time. This should give you a good idea of time and travel requirements to complete!!!!! This series is pretty kid friendly, but may take more then one visit to complete for the younger bug hunters! This cache is located off of trail a bit and you will be hunting for a camouflaged ammo box containing various swag!!!!!

FTF Prize: Unactivated travel tag and pick of the cache stockl!

Congrats to kivotos on FTF!!!!!

Here is the location on Albemarle County's website to download a copy of the trail map.....just in case they are out when you arrive at the kiosk: Preddy Creek Park Trail Map
