This cache is a gadget / creative cache . It has a logsheet , pencil & swag. Hopefully , the description box will be read to make your navigation much easier to get to the gz. You'll want to take route 147 (Memorial Avenue -same thing) to CIRCUIT Avenue(Disclosure: during the fair period,you will have traffic backed up on this road--stay to the left as much as you can to avoid cars going into the fairgrounds) Continue down past gate 9 towards the " SEE THE EAGLES cache by the pump house area. Preferrably park by pump house , make sure you do not block any fire right of ways. You'll see a dyke in front of you with an easement for mowing tractor up and over the dyke. You'll want to take the easement to the top of the dyke then make a sharp hairpin right heading in the fair direction. Walk along the top of the dyke so that you have your bearings in and out. (Disclosure: The movie screen is temporarily taken down during the fair)You can make your way down the dyke towards the river AFTER all the sumac trees and weeds-becomes grass & rocks)( backside of the outdoor movie screen/drive-in) , you'll want to migrate to your left down the grassy/rocky dyke towards the cache. After this cache , head back along the lower riverside grassy level to get to the other cache along the tractor plowed field.
