Will soon begin archiving this series.
Johnson County Park & Recreation District (JCPRD) is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2015. The District is a leader in its field providing the community with top quality parks and recreational opportunities while being responsible stewards of all our resources. The District’s contributions to the personal lives of Johnson County’s citizens have earned the District local appreciation and national acclaim. Each year the District records more than 7 million park visitors and over 2 million recreation participations in over 4,000 programs. Their slogan is “What do YOU do for fun? If you are reading this, one answer is probably Geocaching. The District is planning many special activities throughout the year. With that in mind, and with the District’s approval we bring you 60 JCPRD caches, one for each of their 60 years. This series highlights the District’s trails with 15 different caches listed below. The District maintains over 70 miles of trails for all types of users. These trails include surfaced multi-use, nature, hiking, mountain biking and equestrian. Each featured trail has a cache with a code in it. Collect all 15 and you will have the coordinates to this series final. Some of these caches are located at future trail sites and some are located along existing trails. Enjoy these gems of the county and help support your parks and any efforts to develop these future sites (think of the new caching opportunities). Visit them at JCPRD.com and then happy caching and most of all have FUN!
<p>This cache is for the Ernie Miller Nature Park trails. This is a 116 acre park with trails traversing through a diverse range of habitats, such as tall grass prairie, upland meadows, bottomland forest and a Little Cedar Creek. Park features include a Nature Center, outdoor amphitheater, picnic shelter, three miles of nature trails and a self guided ¼ mile accessible nature trail. This is a natural container that disguises the cache. You will find it about 75 feet off one of the nature trails but it will require bushwhacking that last bit. PIT”s and thorns are in play, although I enjoy hiking these trails after a snow fall, beautiful, quiet and no PIT’s. Enjoy a nice hike while getting this smiley.</p>
