~GEOCACHERS OF THE LOST ARK~
Somewhere hidden in Cedar Valley Park lies the lost ark filled with gold and riches. You are about to embark on a glorious journey around Cedar Valley Park finding five stages of outrageous and daring feats.
Following Woodpecker Trail (coordinates to the trailhead provided) down to stage 1 will be the easiest part of your journey, but beware! To find the lost ark you will climb, you will cross a wire bridge, you will cross the creek multiple times, you will wade through water when the area floods...and you might even have to shimmy.
PERMISSION GRANTED BY CEDAR VALLEY CONSERVATION
Please note at the trailhead you might see signage related to the Boy Scouts of America. This portion of Woodpecker Trail is open to the public and serves a dual purpose as part of the Hoover Trail. The Hoover Trail eventually leaves Cedar Valley Park's boundaries and crosses into private property and that is the part of the Hoover Trail not open to the public. If you obey all signs saying to not cross the fence into private property you will be a-ok. All stages of this cache are in Cedar Valley Park open to the public.
UPDATE 2022 - This cache won the Iowa Geocachers Organization's "2022 People's Choice Awards" for "Best Multi-Cache" :)
