Blacklick Creek is a tributary stream of Big Walnut Creek, flowing through Franklin, Fairfield and Licking counties. The creek's name was originally given by Native Americans who had noticed the animals that frequented the creek to lick its black-colored salt stones. [Wikipedia]
The creek is 27 miles long, and here in Reynoldsburg it runs along or through at least 4 city parks. It is a favorite daily stopping point for my dog and me on our walks. It is a very peaceful and relaxing area, and a good place to add a cache.
The location of the cache has recently been changed due to the original site getting muggled several times. The easiest way to the cache is to park in the Huber Park parking lot on Livingston Avenue (see waypoints), then take the bike trail that branches off into the wooded area behind the fenced-in baseball diamond. The cache is about 0.25 mile from the Livingston parking lot. The cache is right along the bike trail. You should not need to bushwack.
During your caching adventure, make sure to take one of the short trails under the trees to view the Creek. If you have a dog with you, it's a good place to get a drink and cool off.
If you're interested in a longer walk to the cache, try parking in the parking lot found at 1640 Davidson Dr, then head south on the bike trail along the tree line. The cache is approximately 0.4 mile from the Davidson lot.
The cache is a small magnetic container. There is a little bit of room for loot 😃 Note that the cache WILL get muggled if you are observed retrieving/replacing it. Please use stealth.
