Geocache Description:

A short walk in the woods. If you are looking for a beautiful area........keep looking cuz this sure isn't it! Willard's woods are dark, spooky, kind of ugly but does have a unique view of the lake.

This cache is a easier park and grab in a black container. It is a log only cache so please (BYOP)Bring Your Own Pen!

There is a little bit of sparatic poison ivy in the area and also a few of those briar things that we all know about it. It is fairly easy to stay away from both if you watch for them.

Update: June 2004
The cache has twice went floating due to the fluctuations of Lake Waco. Luckily both times it didn't go far and we were able to find it. The log also stayed dry (somehow?) on both trips! We have now put a little bungee cord on the cache and repositioned it so hopefully it will stay safe. Please replace it as found and let us know if the bungee cord needs replacing , etc. Thanks!

JANUARY 18, 2005: This cache is unbelievable! We checked on it today and it has now survived it's 3rd flood!! You could tell that the cache and the cache area was several feet under water for quite a while.........and again........miraculously both the container, and the log stayed safe and dry! WoW! The cache was right where we left it; (our GPS showed 3 feet away at the cache today)thank goodness it's harness held up!

Update: September 3, 2007
I love this cache!! It somehow survived another horrendous flood (it's 4th one!) this spring/summer! This time it survived being under 10 + feet of water for 2 months! Wow....what a cache! Replaced the original log today with a brand new one.

Also note that now you have to park about 500 feet away from the cache. There is now a white barracade across the old road. Park there (on Park Road 1A, off Park Road 1) and just walk down the road until the gpsr tells you otherwise. You will see how high the water came up on this road too. There is all kinds of debris , trash, logs, etc all over the road surface.....what a mess! This would be a GREAT Cito area!

Be careful out there and Have FUN!
