This is our 2nd cache hide!!
Our First Cache “Hobbiton of the Shire” went very well with lots of nice comments on the location and the hide.
So we the 3 hobbits thought we start another

The 3 hobbits had a great time getting this cache ready & finding a fun location for you to find.

Depending on which way you come from to get to the cache the terrain can be easy to a little difficult.
There is also a creek nearby that has a few crossing points Easy to slightly difficult depending on which one you want to use to cross if you need to. This is also a great area to spot deer, which we have seen on many occasions.

We packed this ammo can with lots of fun stuff to start off with.
There is also a Log book and a few pencils included in zip-loc baggies for you to log your visit

The best place for legal parking is just north of the main trail head at N42 02.914 W088 11.856 in the main lot
Do not Park on the shoulder of Golf Road (Rt 58) as the police do Ticket cars there.
Please use the forest preserve lot mentioned above. Entrance to the main lot is off of Rt 59 just north of Golf road. Just follow it all the way to the end and park there.

The Ammo box container is clearly marked with www.Geocaching.com on the outside of it, in case anyone stumbles upon it by accident, also included inside is a Stash note to welcome any finders of this cache & also to explain the game to newbies.

Important Note : As with any cache hunt, keep all of our parks clean & natural (Cache in / Trash out).

We also go bike riding through this area fairly often on the paved & dirt trails so we will be able to maintain & check on this cache when needed.

As you can tell by the cache name & our Group name we love the “Lord of the Rings” books & movies.
