Geocache Description:

Change as of April 2007: This is now a 2-stage multi-cache hidden in Scott Township Park. The first stage is less than 5 feet from the trails. The final stage is only about 50 feet off-trail. The park is a relatively new park, but is already prone to mosquitoes and poison ivy.

Oh no! Elemental has escaped! She, along with her brother (Xander) and sister (Sweet Bambina) have run away from home in search of their mittens (do a travel bug search on names for more info). Xander ran to this park, to hide in the "Great Scott" cache (a great cache if you haven't found it yet). Elemental followed him, but it took her a few more tries to find a good lair for herself. While she's out galivanting around the country, she's left some fun trade items in her stash for the rest of us to play with.

This is a 2-step multi-cache that will take you on a walk around the Scott Township Park. The entire trip, from parking near the playground, around the lake, and into the woods should be about a mile or so (depends on if you go the shortest way, or if you end up taking a detour or two...). There are now four caches in Scott Township Park - Great Scott, Come Swim with Me, and In Honor of Daggy all use the same parking area as Elemental's Escape, so come and try for all four while you are here.

The first stage is a 35-mm film canister hidden close to the trails. The final cache is a lock-style rubbermaid container (original contents include the mandatory logbook and pencils, along with several of Elemental's favorite games to play - all child friendly).

Begin your hunt behind the playground on the Sassafras trail. Your hike should take you along the Lake Trail (stage 2) and then around the end of the lake and off onto the Oak Trail (stage 3). Keep an eye out for deer (real or not) and a pretty lake - you should see both. Also, keep in mind that horses are allowed on the trails - and most don't appear to use bags to catch their droppings...
