2003 ChiTown Picnic Cachers:
Look for the stamp that is shaped like a marker and
identified as "picnic stamp."
Come for the cache and stay (or return) for the rest of what this
park has to offer. This is an extremely kid friendly place where
the whole family should find something of interest. Please note the
hours of operation:
| Tuesday - Friday |
8:30am - 5:00pm |
| Saturday |
10:00am - 5:00pm |
| Sunday |
Noon - 4:00pm |
Parking is available at N41° 52.172 / W088° 21.764 Sorry, but
dogs are not allowed in the park. Sorry Dairy and Penny!
The listed coordinates are for your first stop. From here you
will gather the coordinates for the actual cache location.
Upon arrival at the posted coordinates, enter the structure and
start your climb to the top. Make note of the following:
2-digit number that is the number of steps (excluding the levels)
to the top. Result is AB.
1-digit number that is the number of levels. Result is
C.
2-digit number that is the scout troup named on the top level.
Result is DE.
The final cache coordinates are at N41°
(B+D)1.(B+C+D)1(C) W088°
(B)1.(A+D)BC. Go ahead and enter the
coordinates in your GPSr and use your vantage point to plan out
reaching the actual cache. There is no nead to do any bushwacking
or to leave the trail until you are within 5 feet of the cache.
Keep an eye out for muggles as this is a popular place on nice
days. Have fun and enjoy this interesting place!
