Once at ground zero look for the whopper about 50 feet due west near where the fenceline becomes a corner more than a straight away past the memorial flag. There is page glitch for some reason and I am unable to update the coordinates of ground zero so for now just walk to the west.
DO NOT CLIMB THE TREE!!! I REPEAT..... DO NOT CLIMB THE TREE!!! It's not safe and the tree doesn't like it frankly...

Fun Fact:
The gentleman who lives northwest of ground zero is not a muggle but a friend and a caretaker for this cache. If he happens to peek over the fence and say hey their geocacher, just know he's on our side...as is his husky. Although I have recently moved the cache a bit west so that our husky friend isn't barking quite so often.
Permitted park hours are sunrise to sunset. Enjoy a nice walk with great views of majestic oak trees and wildlife. The cache is hidden in one if these big beauties. There are baseball diamonds, a bike ramp park and a playground for the kiddos, as well as a dog park and lots of tables for a family picnic. .
This cache is #18 within the park and I think I can safely say it will be the last one excluding any replacements. I own 11 of the 18 here so feel free to contact me if you get stumped on any of the 18 or any other Elk Grove caches for that matter. This cache idea is the brain-child of my 8 year old son and I. He and I wanted to really think outside the lamppost on this one. We appreciate every creative cache we find so we try to only put out ones such as this that hopefully leave a fond memory for the finder. PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL IS PLACED BACK IN ITS ORIGINAL POSITION PROPERLY & SECURELY to preserve the cache and the experience for future cachers. I hope you CACHE A WHOPPER! We love a good fish story. Please post a descriptive log of your experience and FAVORITE IT if you liked it. We collect those FAVORITE STARS like they are TROPHY CATCHES ON THE WALL.
