Geocache Description:

Cache is located in Bath Nature Preserve. Daylight hours only. Best access and main parking is off of Ira Road.

Fourth cache that I have placed in this park to celebrate Thanksgiving 2005.


Interesting info about this preserve, it supports a diverse group of birds. Well over 75 species have been documented. Woodpeckers, hawks, owls, herons, crows, ducks, vultures, humming birds. If you like birds, bring binoculars! You're local Ohio favorite is sure to be found here. When I was here, a red tailed hawk was screeching while flying low through the sky, a fantastic sight and sound.

To get to this cache from the 'Lost Innocence' cache, continue south on the dirt South Woods trail and it will turn back north for you. South Woods trail will then intersect with the North Fork Trail, which is a finished surfaced multi-use trail. Crossing North Fork trail, South Woods turns into Hillside Trail. Continue heading north to the cache area.

No need to bushwhack until about the last 50 feet. Choose your entry wisely and you can avoid the thorns.

You're looking for a full size 1/2 gallon container that has been camo'd.

Replace cache exactly as you found it and ensure the covering camo is back in place.

This spot has decent cover for you. But as always, keep your muggle wits about ya. Through the woods you'll see one hell of a mansion across the way, an awesome spread.

This is the hiking viking's 44thd cache in the greater Akron area.

Geochums!
