Geocache Description:

This cache is a part of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County's 100th Anniversary Geocaching Challenge. This program celebrates our 100th anniversary in 2015.


The 2015 installment of the Geocache Passport celebrates the forest preserves which were purchased between 1991 and 2015 . Collect 5 stickers from 8 participating caches hidden throughout DuPage County for a collectable Geocoin while supplies last. Passports will be available in the cache on a limited basis. For more information see the website www.dupageforest.org or call Fullersburg Woods at 630-850-8110.

 

This section where the cache is hidden is just a piece of the larger preserve which is located further south.  The first part of this preserve was purchased back in 2001.  At 34 acres, the majority of the preserve stands as an undeveloped, natural area.  It is a natural marsh and is valuable for storm-water retention.   It conveniently borders the Aurora Branch of the Illinois Prairie Path.

 

The cache you are looking for is a clear container. Please note that this preserve is open from dawn until dusk.  Do not cross any fences or closed gates to access this cache.
