Geocache Description:

Welcome to Stickney Run

This 629 acre site is located just outside of McHenry.  Nestled within the hills of Stickney Run Conservation Area are some of the most majestic trees found in Illinois‐ old growth oaks. While walking thru the trails take your time and look around and you might just see some of these old growth trees and it is estimated that some are 300‐400 yrs old.


The 2015 Cache Your Way program is over but the cache remains for the fun of it!

About

Hikers and cross-country skiers can explore two scenic trails through the woods, while a quiet 3-acre pond beckons fishermen to catch largemouth bass, bluegill, and green sunfish. A horse trail is located on the eastern edge of the site. A picnic shelter is also available

Pickerel Frog

The Pickerel frog is a medium gray or tan frog marked with 7 to 21 irregular rectangular dark brown spots which are oriented in 2 columns down its back.  The Pickerel frog is often mistaken for a Leopard frog.  The pickerel frog has a bright yellow or orange coloration on the concealed surfaces of the hind legs and belly, which leopard frogs do not.

About the Hide

This is a simple two stage multi-cache.  I found two spots I really liked and couldnt decide so a multicache was born!  This may be slightly difficult as once you get to the general areas, there are many hiding places.
