Geocache Description:

Cascade Park -- The posted coordinates will take you to the Trail Entry Sign for the Cascade Arbor Walk in Hudson’s Cascade Park, a 75-acre neighborhood park. A stream with waterfalls flows through the park and into a natural peat bog. Park amenities include a playground, three ball diamonds, pavilion, basketball court and picturesque hiking trails.  Daylight caching only.


To obtain the information needed to find this cache you will take a walk along the newly revamped “Cascade Arbor Walk”.  Find the answers to the questions from the entry sign and tree identification markers along the trail.  All the information needed is on those signs.  Cascade Arbor Walk trail maps are sometimes available at the Entry Sign -- you might want to print one. With the map you don’t necessarily need the waypoint coordinates provided for the 6 "Questions to Answer". PLEASE RETURN THE CACHE AS FOUND!

The cache can be found within the "circle" of the yellow trail at:

N 41 14.ABC  W 081 27.DEF
