Location: Southwestway Park
Time: 10 to 10:30 a.m.
Activity: Meet & Greet followed by an optional semi-urban hike.
I love hiking with fellow cachers! The adventure, the conversation, the... rattlesnakes...
Unfortunately, living in Indy limits our access to long-distance hikes unless we are able to travel an hour or so down to Brown County or Hoosier National Forest. BUT the greater Indy area is filled with dozens of small- and medium-sized parks that boast miles of trails stretching all across the city and its environs, many of which are dotted with geocaches! I propose we get outside and enjoy them (especially now while the bugs and the weeds are in retreat)! Will you join me?
This event is a short (half hour) meet and greet in the parking area at Southwestway Park, located off Mann Road southwest of the city. I know hiking isn't for everyone, so the meet and greet part is scheduled only for half an hour. Afterward (at 10:30), I'll be heading into the woods to explore one of my favorite Indy parks. The plan is to pass by all the caches in the park, heading first north toward Wander Southwestway II and then south all the way to Edge of the Park II and then back again. I anticipate it'll take a few hours to complete the full loop, so bring your hiking bags, along with plenty of water and snacks!
To earn the event smiley, all you have to do is show up to the parking lot and sign the log. This part is fully ADA accessible. The actual hiking part (which is not ADA accessible) is optional.
