Geocache Description:

The I.C. DeHart Memorial Park is a gift - one of five parks presented to Patrick County by the DeHart family.

Through the generosity of the DeHart family - Patrick County residents enjoy the outdoors all over the county and at the I.C. DeHart Memorial Park there is a Picnic Shelter, Baseball Field, Horse-shoe pits, Volleyball and new bike trails - but the most fascinating of all is the award winning Bog Turtle Wetlands and Education Restoration Project - home to dragonflies, frogs, toads, wetland birds, reptiles, butterflies - and currently wasps and yellow jackets who want to sting those who try to disturb their nests. A lot of effort has gone into this project and it is interesting to observe this wild overgrowth of wetlands in vivid action.

When you arrive at the above listed coordinates you will need to see I.C. To find the cache... for the North coordinates plug in the 1st and the 4th numbers of the 5 numbers going from left to right in the "EYE" into the blanks by the same order L. to R.

N 36 48.___5___' .............. ie: N 36 48.(1st)5(4th)

For the West coordinates you'll need to use numbers from

INGRESS: A - B C - D E F G and EGRESS: H - I J - K L M N

W: 0 E 0 - D H. C B L' ........ Find the cache!!!

One final note of interest for local history buffs - I.C. Dehart grew quite profitable from running his government distillery prior to prohibition. (What happened in Patrick County after prohibition??? Well - stay tuned - our next posted location will take you to..."Shiner's Hollow")

The cache is a full ammo box jammed packed with goodies located close to the heart.
