Sauer Puss
In 1972, a place called Cap
Sauer’s Holding was built in Cook County. It’s called "Holding"
because the land is held for future generations. Before Cap
Sauer’s Holding was there, it was Oak Woodlands and hunting grounds
for Indians. Today, Cap Sauer’s Holding is 72 years old. The
reason why the land is so flat is because one of the largest
parcels (glacier) was here. The parcel (glacier) was here
12,000 years ago. There were some places there before Cap
Sauer’s Holding. They had farms in the 1890's. Civilian
conservation corps camp in the 1950’s. In the 1930’s there
was a boys camp and now its a nature preserve with 1,500 acres of
land. There was another name for Cap Sauer’s Holding. The
other name is part of Palos. Palos in Spanish means other
Hills. You can never build houses on the land. You can
never make new trails. Everything there is protected.
The first Sunday of each month people volunteer to clean up the
nature preserve.
Cache isn't that far from trail.
Some light bushwhacking and thorns. The views from here are very
pleasant. Walk around to see them. Looking for an ammo can. Have
fun!
