Another cache located in
Towners Woods park in Portage County. Towners woods is a
great park with about 175 acres, miles of hiking trails,
sledding hills, cross county ski trails and a Hopewell Indian
mound. Located next to lake Pippen, Towners Woods offer
excellent bird watching opportunities, there are a variety of
ecosystems to be found in this park and is quite fun to
explore in all seasons. As an added bonus, Towners Woods
is a dog friendly park. Your well behaved geodog is welcome
on a leash. The park is open from dawn to dusk, no night
caching!
This area of the park is pretty
neat. The small lake to the west is private property, but it's not
close to the cache area s don't worry. Because this one is so close
to the park entrance you'll have to be stealthy in your search.
Although we have never seen anyone in the gazebo, there is a
constant stream of traffic going by on the trail.
As always, be certain to conceal
the cache well, don't make the cache easier to find, this is a busy
area in the park and you will be visible during your search and the
curious might want to visit to see what you where up to. Replace it
in the exact same spot!
Remember, this is Northeast Ohio,
there is mud in the Spring, bugs and poison ivy in the Summer,
leaves in the Fall and snow in the Winter so dress
appropriately! Wear industrial strength insect repellant in
the warmer months, there are hungry mosquitoes and deer
flies.
Good luck and have fun!
