Hands across the water . . . water . . .
Hands across the sky!

The Punderson beach holds a lot of memories for me, as it was the main reason for the multitude of trips we took each summer from inner-city Cleveland out to Geauga County. I can still feel every sunburn I got as a child as I ignored those burning rays while playing in the sand or splashing around in the water. It was always a fantastic time, and like so many things that I see nowadays, it just seems so much smaller than when I was a kid. I don't know how much swimming still goes on here since the lifeguards were discontinued and the algae levels have increased, but I still like to come down to the beach every once in a while to relax and remember the days of Uncle Albert and Admiral Halsey.

The cache can be found along the Beach Trail, which has a trailhead at the northern end of the beach and follows the edge of the lake over to the marina area. There are a few breaks in the trees along the way where you can get some beautiful views of the lake, and maybe put your hands across the water. Please approach this cache from the Beach Trail and not from the road at the top of the hill. The cache is a lock & lock container hidden in a typical fashion.

Don't forget to check the inside of the cache lid for the coordinates to the Joker Micro cache (GC64D8B)!

Punderson State Park is open to the public from 6 am to 11 pm. While caching after dark is allowed, please be sure to exit Punderson by 11 pm when the park closes.
