This cache is hidden at a hilltop hiding spot near the water
resevoirs on top of the hill over Manley Fieldhouse. You'll find
this little-known park -- Morningside Heights Park -- to be a quiet
park with a spectacular view of the Valley.
To get in, we'd recommend Anton's advice from Morningside
Conundrum:
"Enter the park from the gated service road near the
corner of Berkley Drive and Broad Street. A shorter and much more
interesting approach is from the empty lot on Morningside Terrace,
a one-block street off Hertford Street. Hertford is off Lancaster
Ave. near the Edward Smith Elementary School. After you walk across
the small vacant lot between two houses, look to your left for an
old stone stairway."
Once you're in, follow the stairs towards their end and follow
the appropriate trail. Be sure to enjoy the views from the top of
the hill -- perhaps while you're signing the log. The cache
container is a small (maybe one-quarter the size of an ammo box),
clear and plastic one with a locking top.
For more information on the park and its history, the views, the
water tanks and more, see Know Your City Parks:
Morningside Heights.
NOTE: Short of finding an alternate route to the top, the stairs
keep this cache from being handicap accessible. Because there is a
paved road that goes up the hill (inaccessible to motor vehicles),
it may be possible to get up at some times.
