Classic ammo can by tree. Easy cache. Remember to stay on the sidewalk/trail until close to the cache. Please don't take the pen: You are welcome to bring a trinket to trade with a treasure from inside the can! DO NOT put in any liquids (drinks, sanitizer, lighters), perishables (food), or nature items FROM THE PARK(acorns, rocks, etc.). When you are done with the cache, make sure you seal each Ziploc and the ammo can COMPLETELY. Make sure the ammo can is left standing upright so no water gets in.
Don't have phone service in the park? Cooper Lake State Park has loaner GPS units available at the South Sulphur Unit in the front office with Geocaches already downloaded for your convenience. From the parking lot in Honey Creek, head toward the sidewalk leading to the pier and Bright Star. Cross the pier, and continue down the path that heads toward the Bright Star camping area. The cache, an ammo can, will be off of the trail before you reach Bright Star. Use an animal trail and beware of poison ivy. There is a log book, bring your own pen. You can check this cache off your list and get some fishing done at the pier right afterward! The hike from the parking lot to this cache and back is about .2 miles and walking will take about 4 minutes. Please put the cache back as you found it (or better than you found it, if not sealed or hidden properly) and respect our Leave No Trace policy by leaving all the wildlife as you found it. We love when our visitors take the initiative to help keep our trails clean: if you got what it takes, bring a trash baggie with you. If you see that the cache needs some love or that the trinkets are running low, shoot us a message. Don't forget to log your cache and leave us a comment. Happy caching!
