Geocache Description:

Bigger Splinter is located in Rotary Park off Six Mile Road in Livonia. Parking is available in the park. Park is open 6:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m.


You are expected to physically sign the log sheet in order to log your find on-line.

You cannot approach this directly from the north, east or south. That is all private property. You will have to walk in from the west to this section of the park. After that long and possibly muddy walk, you will need to figure out how to get across the Tarabusi Creek and possibly another intermittent stream or two. If water is low you might be willing and able to wade. Otherwise you will have to find a tree bridge. If water is high some of those might not work.

There is a neighborhood camp site in the area so keep an eye out for local muggles. You are looking for a pill bottle. Please be sure to restore the cache to its hiding place in a similar condition. You will need to bring your own pen or pencil.

Hopefully it is obvious as you get close where to search. I spotted some vines on nearby trees. I did not check close enough to see if it was poison ivy or just a creeper. There are both in the park, but better safe than sorry. There are no vines specifically at ground zero (hint, hint). Depending on your stature, you might need to make a little height adjustment (hint, hint).

All of the trails in Rotary Park are now on OpenStreetMap (OSM). You can see this through Geocaching.com by selecting Set Map Preferences button on the map side panel. Next select Leaflet from the pop-up. Then in the upper right corner of the map, select OpenStreetMap Default from the map choices.
