This is where it all started just references the CITO when the caches in Perry State Park started. October of 2015 we had a CITO in conjunction with a breakfast cooked over the campfire - we need to do that again - it was tasty and fun. Well the pavillion here is where we had that breakfast. But along with "this is where it all started - needed a State Park as well.
During our younger years most of us have experienced some fun times at State and County Parks. This park hasn't had any caches in it and I really appreciate the Ranger allowing us to place some. There is a fee for State Parks so if you are planning on grabbing this one maybe you should get them all at once and save yourself some money.
There are a few caches placed within Perry State Park and they are named after nearby state parks.

Located in the heart of the Smoky Hills, Wilson State Park is considered by many to be the most beautiful in the state. Wilson Reservoir features a rugged shoreline punctuated by scenic cliffs and rocky outcrops. The park and surrounding wildlife area offer the opportunity to view and photograph deer, pheasant, waterfowl, songbirds, and furbearers.
Wilson Reservoir offers excellent white bass and striped bass angling. The Cedar Trail in the Otoe area is a one-mile loop with a concrete surface and is great for a leisurely, low-stress walk. The 25.5-mile long Switchgrass Bike Trail is popular with mountain bikers to pursue this challenging activity.
Wilson Wildlife Area is located on the upper end of 9,000 acre Wilson Reservoir. The 8,069-acre public hunting area is made up of 5,000 acres of rugged rolling hills of native prairie, approximately 2,000 acres of cropland, and 1,000 acres of riparian timber along the Saline River, Cedar Creek, Turkey Creek, and Elm Creek. The area has a waterfowl refuge that was established in 1996.
