GO WITH THE FLOW,
H2O,
The waterworks minus the mall
The second of three caches involving water
You won't be stump'd if you check by the trunk
There is a neat place to hide if you go to the side
You won't fall if you look close to the wall.
North Park was dedicated on June 18, 1927. Many of the
infrastructure and improvements made to the park were the results
of the efforts by men working for the Works Progress Administration
(WPA) during the depression. There are several geocaches in the
park that tell the history of North Park.
Abe and Nancys’ Place (GCHXA5) Game reserve 1927-1931.
The fence post remains adjacent to the cemetery are from the game
preserve fencing used for buffalo whose caretakers were Blackfoot
Indians from Montana. The game reserve encompassed the area between
Walter Road, Pearce Mill Road, and Lakeshore Drive.
