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 parklands with 15 different caches listed below. The outstanding parks and recreational resources managed by the District are among Johnson County’s most popular and valuable community assets. The tremendous popularity of their parks and the wide variety of recreational opportunities they provide is a reflection of the vital role the District plays in making Johnson County one of the most livable communities in America. Each park 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 parklands and some are located within existing parks. Enjoy these gems of the county and happy caching, but most of all have FUN!
This cache is for the future Camp Branch Park site. This 300 acre site will be developed as a sub-regional park for the southeast section of Johnson County. This site is adjacent to the District’s Camp Branch Glade park and the future Camp Branch Creek Streamway Park. With Camp Branch Creek running through part of the site future connections via this trail system to other parklands is planned. Since this site is not yet open to the public this small cache is along the road right-away. You will be looking for a well hidden micro cache. I might recommend carrying a big stick out here but don’t go looking down just any rabbit hole. Pleas rehide this cache well as it has gone missing before it was even published.
