This cache is located along the winding banks of the Nippersink creek just North of Mchery Il. You will need a canoe to find it. Canoes can be launch from Glacial Park, it is located approximately 2 - 2 1/2 hrs from the launch. When you get in the area of the cache, you should notice a bunch of Rocks (broken concrete?) along the right bank. This was the easiest place to exit the canoe seeing as most of the shore is silt. The cache container is an aluminum container that held a Baileys Irish Creme bottle, and is does have a geocache sticker on it. I have it fairly well hidden under a branch covered by grass. For additional help see the hints. This is my first placement, and I think it will be fairly difficult to find, so good luck.

Contents: Paper & Pen, Clifford bobble head , toy airplane, small frisbee, hot wheels fir truck, and a Grumpy (7 drwarfs) back pack clip.

There is some old barbed wire in the area so be careful. Make sure to check out the camp area about 1 hr from launch, there is a grill and plenty of firewood is alway provided. If your a fisherman, we caught 7 different species of fish while canoeing, also there are a lot of turtles sunbathing on logs so keep your eyes peeled.
