Geocache Description:

You are looking for a LOG only geocache! I'm KNOT going to tell you where it is. At gz you are NEARly to the POINT of finding it!  If you are walking the loop clockwise, please don't hop the fence and bushwhack to this cache, but save the endangered species and take the looping trail until you are on 10 feet from the cache.


This cache was originally a regular size container, but controlled burns and clearing of the area has made it necessary for the moment to place a smaller cache at this location.

Congrats to tnt63 on the FTF!!

Volo Bog is an Illinois Nature Preserve. These caches are located on or very close to developed trails.

Tamarack View Trail: This 2.75-mile trail is designed for hiking and cross-country skiing (with a six-inch minimum snowbase). As park visitors traverse through woods, wetlands, field and prairie, they are given the opportunity to experience and enjoy the diverse communities within the park. From higher elevations along the trail, one can look down into the Volo Bog basin and view the state threatened tamarack trees. The trail begins just south of the visitor center and moves in a counter clockwise direction. All visitors are encouraged to move in the appropriate direction, but it is especially important that skiers do so to avoid accidents. A trail brochure for Tamarack View Trail is also available

*Closing times are posted at site entrance, and are occasionally subject to change without notice
