This is cache located inside The Parks at Chehaw, Albany GA. This is one of my favorite parks for the whole family. It has a children’s play park, picnic areas, BMX track, RC Race course, Disc Golf course, stocked catfish pond, nature trails, boat dock on Lake Chehaw, Mountain Bike Trail, camping area and a zoo. The Parks host several major family oriented events throughout the year.
Like all outdoors in southwest Georgia, the park is blessed with wildlife to include some things to avoid (snakes, ticks, mosquitos - along with other biting insects.) and we can’t forget poison ivy and related plants.
Speaking of things to avoid; this site is in view of the main entrance gate. So depending on the day, and time of day muggles will be around. Thus stealth may be required! Also if you look in the near distance, you will see some white boxes. These are active bee hives where honey bees are making honey. DO NOT DISTURBE the BEES. If disturbed, the bees will sting. Bees are the source of our Honey. (Local honey can sometimes be bought from the Parks at Chehaw made by the bees in the park.) Bees also provide a critical service of pollination of our crops. We need to do all we can to help our bee populations.
The cache is placed with permission from park Ranger.
