My children enjoyed watching Disney's cartoon movie Robin Hood when they were growing up. As I was passing by the Sherwood Rec. Area, I had the idea to to hide caches with a Robin Hood theme. All caches are named after a character in the movie. The caches themselves are regular containers. They are related to Robin Hood in name only.
There is no forest here. It is mostly open flatland with rolling hills on the north edge and the Rouge River to the south. Caches in the flat part are hidden up off the ground to protect from flooding. The others could be down low or ground level.
Parking is available at 3 different places close (relatively) to the caches.Very little bushwacking is required but a few may be short hike. Also a few are on a hill.Because of the flatness of the area and closeness of the river, this area is extemely floodprone. Use care when searching in/after rainy weather
.
During summer months, Hines is closed on Saturday for Saturday in the Park. These parking areas would be inaccessible then.
This cache is named after Prince John. He was the bad guy. The cache is a normal hide in the flatland part of the park.
