Geocache Description:


Don't like mystery caches? Still want to explore the beautiful park that is known as the Stuart Sports Complex?

Well, here's your chance to venture deep into Badlands territory and have a look at this wonderful complex. You will need to pick up some simple field information at each cache's posted coordinates, and then you will need to venture OUT of Badlands territory (average distance of about a mile) to find the actual cache. Using a bicycle, you can complete all eight caches in around two hours. Of course, you can use your car also, but until vehicles are allowed in the complex again, you will have to park at the nearby police station and venture out on foot. All caches in this series are either a small vial (provided to me by Badlands himself), or a small breath mints tin (fresh breath is a priority in my life).

Enjoy the beauty of Badlands territory!

This cache honors the town of Howard, South Dakota. It is located 250 miles east of The Badlands. 

 

Howard, South Dakota welcomes you. Now hopefully our Howard can welcome us to another Taco Tuesday soon.

THE CACHE IS, OF COURSE, NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. YOU ARE DEEP IN BADLANDS TERRITORY.
