I have placed 3 Caches somewhere in this Park with permission from the Land Manger. One of them has a First Finders Prize.(But I'm Not telling Which One.) (HEE HEE!)Each one of these Caches are more than .30 miles apart.
(First Finder Prize Has Been Claimed.)
This area was bisected by the old Cahokia Trace, commonly known as the "Trace Road" which ran east and west just north of what is now U. S. 50, and was for many years the principal route from historic Vincennes, Ind. to St. Louis and the west.
This is the third and last cache in this park, it is located on the North side of the park. ( Which is on the north side of Illinois Route 50).
The Cache is located along the Cahokia Trail. The Coords. takes you to a trail marker. From there you take a compass reading of 234 degrees SSW. And go 75 feet to the cache. ( That's using my steps which is 2-1/2 ft. strides.)
You may park at these Coords. located by the shelter house and bathrooms across from the youth camp grounds. N 38 44.048, W 087 50.199. There's a small walk to the trail head. The trail is easy walking and clean.
This is a 4 x 4 x 5 Clear Container with a white lid and the geo logo on the lid.
