This cache has been placed in conjunction with a city park clean up organized by the APRD. Please help keep our city parks clean. Garbage receptacles are placed in the parks. Please help the parks stay clean by placing any trash you may see lying around into the receptacles.
Please visit Arbutus Park at the posted location to gain information which will lead you to the final location of this mystery cache. The Appleton area is home to many mystery (puzzle) caches and it is our hope that this mystery cache will be simple enough to solve that it will give you the desire to solve many more (some much more difficult) in the local area and beyond.
Arbutus Park and Jones Park were once part of the same geographical area, before an area was filled in for developement where downtown Appleton now is. In the early days, before city development, the ravines in the Appleton area were used as garbage dumps. Much of this waste washed itself into the waters of the Fox River. That history in this area should be a good reminder for all of us to keep this wonderful area of our city cleaned up. Unfortunately, that is not the case. This park and its shape seem to act as a catch-all for people's trash every year. Thank you for any effort you provide in keeping this place clean!
Please bring your own pen/pencil for logging this cache.
