This is a gadget cache.
I take 2 steps forward. You are probably thinking that it is unfortunate how quickly a combination lock will get mucked up by sand year round and possibly be frozen several months of the year.
I take 2 steps back. And now for some fun Paula Abdul facts. Paula's combination of choreography and singing made her one of the most popular artists of the late 80s. Paula was born in California. She had to cancel her performance in Denver, Colorado after suffering from a strained muscle that prevented her from dancing. This was during The Total Package Tour with Boyz II Men and New Kids on the Block. She was a choreography for Janet Jackson who was born in Gary, Indiana.
Special thanks for the placement of this cache goes to Fishing Bear & Co. for the encouragement and for archiving one of their park caches to allow another spot to open for this cache. Thanks also to Marie Laudeman of the Indiana Dunes State Park for assisting with approvals and suggesting an area for placement.
As of the date of this hide here are the hours and fees. The park is open 7am-11pm daily and the entrance fee is $7 for in-state vehicles and $12 for out-of-state vehicles. Annual passes are available. Admission is free weekdays between November and mid-April.
Congrats to Fishing Bear & Co. for the FTF!
