Geocache Description:

Located on the beautiful Sac & Fox Trail in SE Cedar Rapids and approximately one mile from either parking waypoint given below, you're looking for a large, camouflaged protein powder container. This trail is closed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. If parking on Wilder Dr. SE, head N/NE from parking to the T, then hang a left. Some bushwhacking and a little hike up uneven terrain is required. Follow the deer trail in and up for easiest access. FTF prize is a small Lock-n-Lock.

Access to this section of Sac & Fox Trail can be found off East Post Rd. SE where you will find the Sun Valley Trailhead or on the northern most end of Wilder Dr. SE, north of Mt. Vernon Rd. 7.2 miles in length, this well maintained trail runs along Indian Creek and is not only a scenic place for an afternoon hike, jog, or bike ride, it is teeming with wildlife. Chances are if you use a little bit of stealth you will come across deer, rabbits, and squirrels at some point in your journey along the trail, not to mention being serenaded by a variety of birds and the sounds of the creek.

A great place to spend the afternoon hiking with the family or for some peaceful solitude, you'll find this trail is fairly flat. The trail might be muddy in spots after a heavy rain and Indian Creek is known for flooding as well, so keep this in mind if we are under a flood warning.

Original contents include: Draw string ditty bag, peace patches, basketball hacky-sack, rubber ducks, bouncy balls, dinosaurs, carrot shaped playing cards, pine-scented air freshener, small Lock-n-Lock, Rubik's cube, stickers, small Lock-n-Lock for FTF, logbook and pen.


Happy Hunting and Good Luck!
