USE THE SUGESTED TRAILHEAD! Minor bushwhacking, no need to use a machete!
Small cache that's well hidden in natural(?) camo. This cache is hidden in John J. Burns Park in a quiet location. Easy to get to, might be challenging to find. Try finding it without the hint first. Bug spray recommended in season, I didn't see any Poison Ivy. Please do some CITO on your way out. I had another cache here but it got muggled too many times, so time for something new. Refreshing the game board and all that.
John J. Burns Park has been called Massapequa's Sports Hub - Soccer, Football, Tennis, Platform Tennis, Basketball, Handball, Baseball, T-ball, Lacrosse, AND GEOCACHING! Also a playground, walking/running/biking path, a boat launch ramp and a 9-11 memorial. Plenty of parking too. Did you go over or under the chain?
