A Scout is Loyal Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

baloo&bd: in the area having dinner with son tonight when the last log came over. Swung by to check and it was still there. Coming out to check this one so often has become too much of a burden. Last two logs were rather far apart. One in April and one in late July. Not sure why it suddenly got tougher.

Thanks to all that found it. It had a nice long run.

This is a small yet popular "lake" used during season for catch and release fishing. It runs adjacent to the feed from the DuPage River to Northside Park just to the east. 

Entering from the East near Gary Avenue is the only LEGAL route. All other routes cross private property. The nearest parking available is at the following two locations;

On Gary Avenue at the now Defunct Gable's Lounge

N 41 º52.535'
W 088 º07.025'

On Wheaton Oaks Court, however you will have to walk around the north side of the lake to enter from the east to stay off private property

N 41 º52.583'
W 088 º07.236'

Parking along Gary Avenue or Prairie Avenue will get you a quick ticket. 

If you want to visit a little more in the area, Cosley Zoo is just to the north on Gary at N 41 52.682' W 088 07.185 or just to the south/west is Lincoln Marsh which contains a series of caches WE'RE LOST! WE'RE WALKING IN CIRCLES by DogDoc.
