Geocache Description:

A black nano along the southwest end of the Santa Fe Trail extension. Approach from the trail side of the black chain link fence. Do not touch the nearby electrical enclosure. Bring your own pen and tweezers. Stealth required. Initials only when signing the log.



The Santa Fe Trail (SFT) has been extended on the southern end to better connect to the Central Business District/Deep Ellum and Fair Park.

The Santa Fe Trail is a paved pedestrian/cycling trail that connects Deep Ellum/Fair Park with the White Rock Lake and White Rock Creek trails. The north terminus is at W. Lawther Drive on the western shore of White Rock Lake. The trail is now listed as 5.3 miles long. The new southern extension runs along a DART right of way. 

The SFT branches west to Elm street across from Sons of Hermann Hall at 3414 Elm.

The SFT branches east under I-30 to Fair Park at Parry and Haskell. 

The White Rock Lake Park Loop Trail connects to the White Rock Creek Greenbelt Trail. It is now possible to bike from Fair Park to Valley View Park at 635 & Hillcrest Rd.

This cache was placed along the southwest segment of the trail. Coordinates averaged for 6 minutes to 100% sample confidence and 6 ft variance with a Garmin GPSMap 62st under clear skies.

See GC2KGHG for original trailhead coordinates.

Bring your own pen to sign the log and bring tweezers to help extract the log from the nano container. Roll the log back up inside the top of the container before putting the two parts together. 
Signatures on the log are to be Initials Only, but sign the log to claim a find. 

Congratulations to you for being ___ to find!
