Geocache Description:

Edward!?! Your killing me with the trivialities. I'm gonna meet you half way, here goes.....

Try as I may, I can't do shanything "Is this better than my last several attempts?" in 500 characters or less. Lets move on.......



This is meant to be an enjoyable hike in, preferably solo or with a companion. I'm sure there will be some group caching for the weak at heart who can't trek in by themselves for the fear of getting lost, encountering a coyote, or breaking a leg. There is always the possibility of wrong place/wrong time and running into a demented psychopath. Where is your sense of adventure people? Not that I'm against group caching. I just feel blazing a trail 15ft wide getting there is bad for the environment and ruins the potential of self enjoyment and the possibility of alien abduction. Just my opinion, which I know is meaningless. Nonetheless....

You don't need no fricken description. Open you're eyes. If you have cataracts your in trouble and probably shouldn't be that far out anyway.

This is probably my favorite preserve and I wanted to take you on a little journey. The terrain will vary immensely depending on your approach and study of the area. Im gonna put it at a 4. Some may disagree. Thats alright, just keep it to yourself. Opinions are like sphincters ok, get the picture? Hmmm? Guess you can take that two ways. To clarify, I'm speaking of the opinion part.

First to log with a hint of whats out there will be the official FTF. None of this finding the cache first and not logging it for whatever self gratifying reason. And don't cry and say I can't do that. I'm doing it! The self gratifying way for whatever reason is not geocaching. You don't like it tough. Yeah, thats right!

Depending on your approach you may find a few old bottle dumps. If you do, awesome! I'm not leaving any coords for them because I may return with a shovel to excavate. I bet some political suit with freshly manicured nails paid for with our taxes is gonna just love that. It's Illinois people what you expect? I need to supplement my income anyway. A good bottle can fetch a few hundred dollars which is like five hundred taxed. Enough of my rant......

 It's a big preserve. Bring extra batteries. Keep alert and in tune. I see lots of coyotes out here and could have swore they were trying to ambush me one day. Some were big enough to be wolves. Lucky for me I brought my invisibility cloak that day. Laugh, it worked didn't it! I'm still here.  As always stay safe and most of all, enjoy yourself.


P.S. Thanks to Edward for putting up with my insanity and whoever moved thier cache so all my useless efforts can be enjoyed rather than sitting out there until found accidentally.


Congratulations and Happy New Year to CanisMinor for staking his claim as FTF!!
