Geocache Description:

A short 3 stage multi. Final has a pencil, but you may want to bring a writing implement of your own. Be careful when removing and replacing the 2nd and 3rd stages, make sure to put them back as you found them. The location is not TOO public, but as always be discreet when others are about. The area closes at dusk.

Located at the MWRD aeration station in Blue Island, Il. There are a series of these along the Cal Sag to bring the canal back to life and help it recover from all the pollution that has been dumped into it over the years.

The above coordinates are for the 1st stage. When you get there you will need to find the year listed by the board of commisioners. Take that number and insert it in the second lines below to get the coordinates for the 2nd stage.

N41° 41.163'
-_____X.XXX'
N41° XX.XXX'

W087° 38.751'
+______X.XXX'
W087° XX.XXX'


At the 2nd stage you will find a magnetic sheet with the coordinates for the 3rd and final stage written on it. The final stage is a micro container. Good luck!
