Cooking Up a Cache Traditional Cache
Zeeland5: I was out checking on the bike path connector being built through here, when I discovered how much more visible\vulnerable the cache site is. Not to mention being so close to the construction area. I almost left it in place for now, but decided that is no longer a matter of if, but when it would be disrupted and taken away.
I must thank all that made it out here. I hope your trip\find was a pleasant one. And a special thanks to those who awarded the cache favorite points. I am truly honored, and am glad you enjoyed it.

Because I was able to place a LARGE container here, I thought I'd fill it with some items the kids would like. However, the cache is located about 0.3 miles (as the crow flies) from nearest parking. Please keep this in mind while deciding if the trip would be age appropriate.
Welcome to the Upper Macatawa Natural Area, or UMNA. As part of the Ottawa County Parks system, the UMNA consists of 600+ acres that provide habitat for a large variety of wildlife, as well as a wide range of recreational activity for the general public. In fact, a system of mountain biking trails has been added in 2013, and more paved trails are planned to be added in 2014 that will connect the bike trail systems of eastern and western Ottawa county, possibly connecting to Kent trails in the future.
NOTE: Archery hunting is permitted in the UMNA: Oct. 22 - Dec. 31 (Be sure to wear your orange!)
