Geocache Description:


This cache is located in Blue Mound State Park and was originally placed for the 2023 WGA Fall Campout. It is available during the park hours of 6am to 11pm year-round. A vehicle admission sticker is required to enter the park. We recommend parking on Mounds Park Rd and heading north on the Pleasure Valley Trail to Weeping Rock Trail.

C is a big fan of Calvin and Hobbes. He regularly read it in the paper growing up and owns all of the books. We named our orange tabby cat Hobbes. And when he was in middle school, he even did a grid drawing of the cover of the The Days Are Just Packed. How did he do?

This cache is reminiscent of this strip from August 5, 1986. (C must have read it later in one of his books.)

You're looking for an ammo can not far from Weeping Rock Trail, but there's a twist. To access the logbook, you'll need to do some detective work. Everything you need is provided onsite. Good luck!
