Geocache Description:


One of the most interesting and beautiful stretches of the Razorback Greenway is the section that runs parallel to Scull Creek.

Traffic (in the form of walkers, joggers, skaters, and bikers) can be heavy at times, especially if the weather is nice.  Make sure you stay on the right side of the trail, and keep your wits about you.

A SHORT "LONG" WALK

Gordon Long Park is a typical-looking park.  But it has a rather unusual sort of "backstage area" that most folks never see.  This cache will take you there.  Your first (and most dangerous) challenge is to cross the unorthodox low-water ford that leads to the strange sidewalk trails penetrating the woods to the east.  The crossing is often slippery, so use caution!  Once safely on the other side, the trails will lead you to a peculiar marshy area, complete with Jewelweed, Cattails, Beavers, and Willows.  Watch your step; the springs and seeps are allowed to ooze across the trail, and in many spots algae covers the pavement.

You are looking for a small container tucked in a hidey-hole.  There's a sporty unactivated micro-coin for the FTF.  Please try to replace exactly as found to give the next guy a challenge.

As always, we will provide as many hints as your pride allows.  Good Luck!
