Geocache Description:



Well, once again, although I saw it coming (who didn't?), SM325 zipped right past a major milestone and I didn't get a tribute out fast enough to keep up with him. I opted to look for a Spot in the part of Englewood Reserve east of the Stillwater River this time. The entrance is off of US 40, at the eastern end of the bridge over the river. It is pretty much across the road from Patty's Shelter. There is a parking area for the shelter/play area. If you navigate to the cache, you should have no trouble spotting the parking area. You should also (hopefully) have no trouble spotting the trail heading into the woods on your left as you pass it, heading for the parking area (on your right). But you don't have to go very far on the trail before heading right off of it, into the woods. You're looking for what should be an easy to see Regular underneath a geopile at the base of a tree.

The cache is placed with permission from Five Rivers MetroParks, special permit number GO10268.23.

The Spot is not very far from the road or the trail. Please do your best to be wary of muggles and please cover the cache back up well when you're finished. And please put it back right where you found it.

There is a package in the cache labelled "For SM325!". It would be really spiffy if SM325 is the first person to see that package but if it works out that he is not, please do not take the package labelled "For SM325!" if you are not SM325 or acting on his behalf.

Here's a picture of the sign showing the reserve's hours. Please don't be in there outside of those hours and please observe all park rules.



There are some empty baggies in the cache. Those are spares in case the one the logbook's in needs replaced. (But if you want to put TBs in them, that's okay too.)

So, congratulations, SM325!

A Note About Travel Items for People Who May Not Be Familiar With Them

In addition to trade items (commonly known as "swag"), geocaches quite often contain travel bugs or geocoins. These items are not for general trading. They are "travel items." They are the property of other people and their goal is to be taken from one cache by geocachers and then placed in other caches, i.e., to travel from cache to cache. There are two types of travel items, travel bugs and geocoins. These items must be logged separately from logging the find for the geocache. There's a "special process" for that. A travel bug is usually some type of trinket (such as a small stuffed animal) with what looks like a dog tag attached to it. Sometimes it's just the dog tag. Either way, the dog tag will have a string of letters or numbers on it. Geocoins will also have such a string imprinted on or engraved into them. That string is called the "tracking number." It is important for logging the travel item as it's retrieved from and placed in geocaches. Please watch out for such items and do not take them if you don't intend on helping them travel to another geocache or do not wish to learn the logging procedure.
