Geocache Description:

In order to open the lock on this cache, you must complete the Cook County Bird House Trail Series (a very nice, quick and VERY EASY, 5 mile drive down Historic Hwy 41 to break up the boredom of Interstate Travel).


The 4 Bird Houses are between exit 32 and exit 37.

  • Bird Houses of Cook County Trail #1 (GC6P9FJ)
  • Bird Houses of Cook County Trail #2 (GC6P9G0)
  • Bird Houses of Cook County Trail #3 (GC6P9GH)
  • Bird Houses of Cook County Trail #4 (GC6P9GV)

(There are several other caches along this route to find as well!).

This trail is along Hwy 41 between Adel and Cecil.  They run south just outside of Adel towards Cecil.  There is safe parking/pull off areas close to each birdhouse.  Interstate travelers can get off at Exit 37 and head east to Hwy 41, turn South on Hwy 41 towards Cecil and the final cache is located off of Exit 32.  

In order to unlock the Nesting Box, you must write down the number on the bottom of each birdhouse along the trail.  The number on the bottom of each birdhouse will be a number in the combination of the lock. (#1 will be the first number on the lock, #2 will be the second number on the lock, #3 will be the third number on the lock, #4 will be the fourth number on the lock)

Inside of this cache, you will find a log book, a chest for Trackables, and a small crate for swag!

There will be a FTF prize (cooling towel) inside of this final cache in the series.  

***CONGRATS to Gadawgcacher on the FTF!*** 

This cache has been placed with the permission of the campground owner.  Please do not drive through the campground and disturb the campers. Please ensure that you lock the box and close the latch also.  I hope you enjoy the series and Cache On!

If you grab a trackable item from this cache, please ensure that you log it for the owner of it.

Please consider awarding this cache a favorite point.
