Beachwalk, Bus Stop #7 offers a short relaxing walk through the trees on a boardwalk to get from Lakeshore Drive to the public beach down a elevated board walk (suitable for pulling wagons and strollers full of children). We enjoyed the original geocache here of GC2917E from Two Mountaineers and found it many years ago but wanted to place one here to bring attention to this nice access point that is relatively unused in the off-season after Labor Day weekend and up until the Memorial Day weekend. There are two parking spots immediately south of the boardwalk and give yourself enough time to take a walk down to the water and enjoy the great creation that the Lord has blessed us with.
As you approach the cache location, note the sign with the rules and regulations to answer these questions:
1. To find the cache, do you have to be walking, crawling below, or climbing above. Look at the third word of the first rule on the sign. "Pets" = walking, "Any" = crawling, and "Glass" = climbing.
2. To see the cache, do you need to look north, south, east or west. Look at the fourth word of the second rule on the sign. "Littering" = north, "Beach" = South, "Ground" = east, and "Within" = west.
3. To remove the cache, do you need to lift up at the top, pull down from the bottom, or pull sideways from the middle. Look at the 5th word of the 3rd rule on the sign. "On" = gently lift from the top. "Ground" = gently pull down on the bottom. "Permitted" = slide it sideways to remove.
Look for an opportunity to visit outside of high traffic times (summer vacation season) as this may take you a few minutes to solve. Please report any damage to the cache to us by the message tool. Permission for this geocache was requested from the Beachwalk Association in September 2018 and approved, and we later discovered that the property and boardwalk belongs to the Michigan City Parks & Recreation Department. God bless and enjoy the beaches of Lake Michigan.
