Today the district has grown to 22 parks and seven facilities, including a community center, an indoor miniature golf course, an outdoor pool in a beautiful wooded setting, a new Indoor Aquatic Center and a Dog Park, where dogs run free without a leash. The parks are beautifully landscaped with pedestrian and bicycle trails, playground equipment, ball fields and more.

Great Golfing - Urbana is home to Stone Creek Golf Course, central Illinois' premier golfing facility and the Urbana Golf and Country Club.

Easy to get Around - Urbana is truly a walk-able community with a high number of bicycle commuters, and one of the best transit systems in the nation. As a result, Urbana's "rush hour" is locally referred to as "rush minute."

Small Town Friendliness - Urbana has low crime, great neighborhoods, and a number of locally owned businesses.

Trees, Trees and More Trees! - National recognition as "Tree City USA" since 1976, with over 100,000 trees!

A city like this deserves a special hybrid cache. At the coordinates you will find a small glass jar with the normal trinkets and trade items and a log book. Log in and out as with every other cache.

In addition you will find a stamp and logbook in their own bag. If you are a letterboxer and/or have a stamp you stamp into this log book and stamp this stamp into your own logbook. It will be most effective if you bring along Orange, Blue, Yellow, Black, and Green markers, however it will do fine in a single color if you do not have the equipment, time, or inclination. DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP!!!!!

The cache does not contain an ink pad of any kind so if you plan on stamping bring your own.

You may find the letterboxing clues at the following link:

I took great pains to cover the jar so it would not be obvious to passerby's. Please take the time to replace the cammo as it was.

DO NOT TAKE THE STAMP!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU CAN'T REPLACE IT PLEASE DON'T RETRIEVE IT!! THANKS.
