Geocache Description:

Along Indian Run stream in Indian Run Meadows Park in Dublin, Ohio. Park near the intersection of Post and Discovery. Most of the way is paved path, then well-maintained grass leads the remainder of the way to the cache location.

2024 Location Update: GZ now west of the south end of bridge: while at south end of bridge facing north, count 4 verticals on your left and look over left edge of bridge no more than 20' west. GZ is a tree there.
PLEASE REHIDE WELL: MUGGLE ZONE!

LEGACY NOTES:

(Note: There is now a bridge from Post Road south of the hide to the park north of the hide.)

Coordinates averaged and should be fairly accurate. Find a pair of large bolts and you are 6" from the hide. Please don't draw attention to yourself thrashing around, it's in the obvious place, you know... the place trolls would approve of. Be sure to wedge the container in at an angle (hopefully the way you found it) when replacing. Toss a handful of leaves in to help blend the camo covering.

If the water level were to suddenly rise several feet, the cache site may become submerged, so please make sure the cache is properly anchored (as you found it) so that it doesn't wash away or get muggled.

Original (obsolete) NOTE: When the cache was placed in 2005, there was a "castle" of rocks and mortar construction on the north bank of the stream near the original hide location that has since been completely demolished by indigenous youth. No trace of the castle remains, save the picture here. I have no idea what purpose the object near the cache site served, but I did notice it had been vandalized a few days before the cache was placed, so please do not hang onto it while trying to reach the cache (use the tree branches).

Perhaps he was dictating?
