Southwest of Central Multi-Cache
ilwx: This cache will be archived. I have decided not to replace it since I'm not in Naperville as much as in the past. In addition, there is now a well-defined trail going directly to the cache... which means it's time to go. I encourage another geocacher to place a cache in this park, since it's a nice forested park close to downtown.
Thanks to everyone who searched for it! Happy caching!

REVISED: JUNE 13, 2004! Coords are the same, but the method for finding the final cache is different. Read on for details...
Hi! This is my first attempt at a cache. This cache is located within walking distance of downtown Naperville. It is just a short walk from a gravel parking lot.
This is a multicache. The listed coordinates will bring you to a an object with the final location's coordinates written on it. On one side of this object N##### is written and on the other side W##### is written. This corresponds to the final location's coords in decimal degree format (N 41.##### and W 88.#####). Please do not remove/move this 'object' from it's location. Simply read the sides and enter it into your GPSr. The final cache location is a 2 liter Rubbermaid container. If you choose to bring items to trade, make sure there are relatively small. Be sure to hide the cache well after you have visited. Also, cover your tracks, especially if you visit in winter, because this park can become busy. The satillite reception at the cache locations may be limited during the summer due to thick foliage. The coordinates should be reasonably accurate. Enjoy this small park!
Parking: I suggest you park at the parking lot located at [N41 45.808' W088 09.498']. When school is in session, this parking lot may be full. If it is, I suggest parking along Martin Avenue (across from the mentioned lot) or in a lot further south along West Street.
This cache originally contained...
-A Wheresgeorge Bill
-A Daily Planner
-A Black Carabiner
-Handwarmers
-Mini Frisbee
-Assorted Pins
IMPORTANT NOTE: The caches are located adjacent to Sportsman's Park (a shooting range). There is no danger, even if gunfire sounds close, as long as you don't climb any fences. These fences are explicitly marked. There is no need to cross private property. Stay on the trail until you are within 50-100 feet of the cache locations.
Have fun!!
