An easy offset cache that leads a bit off the beaten path.
Welcome to Bay Village! The first step points you to a marker that will provide clues to find the cache. The park was generously donated in 1A17 by Ida Cahoon, whose family settled nearby in 1B10. The marker you’re reading was placed in 200C. The park is on 11D acres and includes a wonderful playground, swimming pool, soccer and baseball fields, and a lakefront walking/jogging path on the north side of Lake Road (starting point of the vastly entertaining "North Coast Runaround" cache). As you walk west from the start point, you'll see that the first ball field on your left is Dover #E.
Now that you’ve gathered the clues, find the cache at:
N 41° 2A.1BC
W 081° 55.D2E
The cache is ¼ mile west of the start point. Take a moment to plan your route and you'll see that you can easily walk to the cache without climbing the fence or wading the creek. You’re looking for a medium-small container. Small trade items only.
The name refers to a peculiar fact about the park. Miss Cahoon’s last will and testament includes the proviso that “no boating, bathing, games or sports shall be permitted on said Park or property on Sunday.” I’m sure she didn’t intend to exclude geocaching, and Sunday might just be the best day to hunt for this one as you’ll have no trouble finding a parking spot! The park is open on Sundays for all sorts of non-organized activities.
A little more local history: the concrete structures near the hide site are trestle supports remaining from the light-rail electric railway that used to run through this area. The Lake Shore Electric was in business from 1901 to 1938. It paralleled the shore of Lake Erie, connecting Cleveland and Toledo with a high-speed, limited-stop service. It reached its peak in the early 1920s. The Lake Shore Electric suffered the fate of most of its sister lines: it could not compete with automobiles, trucks, or buses in terms of convenience or economy.
