Geocache Description:

Another of the caches placed for the Burke Lake Park geocaching meeting on 15 March 2003. A continuation of the walk around the lake, however this is best approached via an open area near the Southeast corner of the lake. No real path exists here, so the rating is bumped up a bit. The area is fairly thick with trees and vegetation so GPS reception may be an issue and it may be wet and muddy at times.

The cache started out as a standard rubbermaid container wrapped in tape, but was upgraded on 11/29/06 to a large ammo can. It started out 3 and a half years ago with an assortment of St. Patrick's day items, but they are long gone and the stash was replenished with the container. The area terrain is more difficult than the norm due to the relatively thick cover. That said, it is close to the main paths and should not be all that difficult to approach - the idea was to get far enough out of sight to preclude non-cacher curiosity.

The cache may be a tad more difficult to find, but it should be recognizable. Please recover the container and rehide it well.

Note: Updated the coordinates to those posted by RobAGD quite a while ago. No complaints now. Along with updating the container and treasures within, I also restored the cache's concealment to make the hint match up once again. As expected, the hiding spot as found on 11/29/06 was a tad different than originally constructed.
