GC61MB2 Dubuque Park N Park - Murphy Park (Traditional Cache) in Iowa, United States created by The "G" Men (gj)

This cache has been archived.

The "G" Men: Louis Murphy park is being utilized in a different fashion than it's original purpose. In the past 3 or 4 years, the park has been closed from November to February to allow for the placement of a Christmas drive-thru lights display. Even then, pedestrian traffic was allowed in January.

That has changed. Now, it's closed in Mid-October and not opened to the public again until May. Since this cache is in the park and inaccessible for 7-1/2 months of the year, I decided to just pull it. Maybe somebody else will place a cache here, but the activity is going to be limited.

Thanks to everybody who came out to chase this cache. Keep on cachin'...
