Geocache Description:


Around the corner from the first Osage Cache and the location of the Osage Campfire annual event, lives Jeff Swanson, one of the owners of Osage Farms.  When I approached him about putting out a night cache, he was pretty sure that there was not one in the patch of forest behind his house.  So, I went to take a look and this is the result.

Please dress appropriately.  Wear boots and bring a good flashlight with fresh batteries. There are some thorns and some poison ivy in the forest, but you should not have to go near it. There are many small tree limbs scattered throughout, but if you take your time and step carefully, you will find a path through it.

Park on the side of Begole Road kitty corner across from his house, in front of an old faded yellow house. Please do not go near either house.  Cross the road and follow the edge of the field (this year it was planted with corn) to the edge of the forest, where you will find the first tack at the trailhead coords.  Keep the tacks on your right entering and on your left exiting. This forest is not as dense, so the tacks are farther apart, but close enough to one another to see the next one in line.  The name for the cache comes from the abundance of walnut trees, which the squirrels place in their own caches!
