Geocache Description:

Don't over tighten the container (ruins gasket).

No dogs allowed on this boardwalk trail. You are looking for a smalll tube with log only. No need to get wet. Just find what ain't quite right. Take care not to lose any pieces to the bog! BYOP. Can by icy in winter. 
Congrats to Hoshmn for FTF!!

Be sure to check out the earth cache at this same location!

This viewing point doesn't need a cache to get folks to come, look and see. This is a very dynamic place with water high and low, a great diversity of seasonal changes to the landscape, plants, wildlife and certainly insects. A great place to see some super sized dragon flies in the summer months. 

Volo Bog is an Illinois Nature Preserve. These caches are located on or very close to developed trails.
 
Volo Bog Interpretive Trail: Designed for hikers only, this half-mile interpretive loop leads visitors through each stage of bog succession. It is constructed of wooden dock sections, boardwalks and a woodchip path. Trail brochures, adapted for each season, are available at the visitor center.
