Everyone was at this fabulous park!
There were families enjoying the gorgeous weather, dog walkers, joggers, hikers, kids on the playground, and fishermen.
Admittedly, the weather was perfect after a long and dreadful winter, but this was crazy! How would I hide geocaches here and get good coordinate readings when the place was absolutely crawling with muggles?
The answer? Try to wait 'em out. There was one dog-walker who was moseying along the trail with her three dogs as I was scouting out various locations. She passed me. I passed her. She passed me again. I passed her again.
Finally, I was able to complete my task. When I was finished, I approached the dog-walking muggle to tell her what I was up to. Turns out that she just thought I was a park employee inspecting the trees in the park.
You are looking for a peanut butter jar that is covered in camouflage duct tape. It is hidden right next to the paved trail, but if you just act like a tree inspector, you might be able to avoid the suspicion of nearby muggles. Please bring a pen with you to sign the log too, but every good tree inspector should be carrying a pen and paper anyway.
PLEASE cover the cache with a bit of natural material before you leave. It's pretty easy for muggly eyes to see unless camouflaged a bit.
Park hours are dawn to dusk only. No night caching.
This geocache has been placed with the permission of the Medina County Parks. Permit #078 .
